Cafecito con... Ángela Maria Dávila: Translating Animal Fiero y Tierno

Iconic Afro-feminist and Afro-Caribbean poet and visual artist Ángela María Dávila Malavé left as part of her legacy, animal fiero y tierno/fierce and tender animal, a force of rhythm and a delicate combination of the of the expressive and the colloquial in the language. Originally published in 1977 (Editorial QueAce, Puerto Rico), it has never been translated into English, until now accompanied by never before seen unpublished materials. Join Puerto Rican Poet Laureate of Philadelphia, Roque Raquel Salas Rivera, and CENTRO's Managing Editor for the Press, Cristina Pérez Díaz as we present the newly translated animal fiero y tierno/ fierce and tender animal.
