not frustrated, upset, or disappointed: just tired. hopefully this weekend will be good with the upcoming National Association for Chicana and Chicano Studies (NAACS) conference. i have the presentation prepared, with a few changes going through my mind. it's only 30 mintues so not much i can cover.
I have more ideas after talking to a fellow poet. She's more the poet than me.
Idea 1: "Identidad Crisis" (I like the title because it reminds me of the DC comic series). People talk about their identity: American, Mexican, Mexican American, Chican@, Latin@, Hispanic, Poch@.
Idea 2: Actually the first idea i had in the conversation but in thinking about it, perhaps it should be second. Thought of a poem title "how to determine if you are a poch@" It sounded better when i first thought of it. i'm not considering a silly poem. i want it to be serious, but it might have some humor: dark humor.
writing helps. i wanted to nurture myself more this semester and in some aspects i have. but i miss trips. i miss writing. i miss being absent from work. i miss time. imu

Good presentation this past Saturday. Your focus on the literary aspects of Pocho reminded me of dissertation I read called the "Pochoroman"--the author mentioned Zeta Acosta, someone I've yet to work into my review, but he definitely gets called pocho.
