Lynn Moorer chatted with Professor Jesús J. Barquet about his English/Spanish book of poetry, Venturous Journeys/Los viajes venturosos, which is made up of two books: The Emigrant’s Logbook and Shipwrecks. Barquet, a native of Cuba who came though the part of Mariel in 1980 and has been Distinguished Professor of Spanish at New Mexico State University, shared his thinking in deciding to leave Cuba, to study at the University of Tulane, then to relocate to New Mexico. Among several poems, he shared poems drawn from a daily record of his actions and impressions in “New Mexico Landscapes.”
