Josiah Luís Alderete will tell you he is “a full-blooded Pocho Indio who refries his beans and poesia in Spanglish.”
He
was a founding member of the Molotov Mouths Outspoken Word Troupe — a
collective of politically engaged Bay Area writers, active in the early
2000s. Since then he’s performed his work all over the region and was
recently featured in the poetry anthology "The City Is Already
Speaking.”
