Podcast appearances and mentions of Ana Castillo

In this episode of Words on a Wire, host Daniel Chacón sits down with acclaimed poet, translator, and world traveler Liliana Valenzuela for a rich and reflective conversation recorded just after her return from a silent meditation retreat. Liliana discusses her journey as a “reverse Chicana”—a Mexican-born writer shaped by both Mexican and Chicano cultural traditions—and the ancestral and creative forces that shape her work. From her fascination with Aztec codices to solo travels through West Africa, Liliana shares the stories and experiences that inform her poetry collections Codex of Love and Codex of Journeys. The conversation also explores her influential career as a translator of major Chicana authors, including Sandra Cisneros and Ana Castillo, and her lifelong commitment to amplifying women's voices in literature.

In this week's episode, the ladies dive into Ana Castillo's powerful novel So Far from God, a story that blends magical realism, Chicano culture, and social commentary. They explore the lives of Sofi and her four daughters—each facing unique challenges that reflect the complexities of Chicana identity, feminism, and spiritual resilience. From political activism to mystical healing, the characters' journeys illuminate themes of cultural pride, survival, and the impact of colonialism on Mexican-American communities.Join Moni and Kat as they unpack the rich layers of this vibrant novel and find out which host didn't love the book this week and why!

Tony Diaz, El Librotraficante & Literary Curator for the Latino Bookstore at the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center welcomes award winning author and distinguished professor Dr. Norma Cantu to the show to discuss her latest book CHICANA PORTRAITS: CRITICAL BIOGRAPHIES OF TWELVE CHICANA WRITERS (University of Arizona Press 2023) ahead of her Texas Author Series appearance on October 13th 2023 at the Guadalupe. Join us for a lively discussion over this amazing anthology that spotlights 12 literary figures from 12 authors who themselves are making a name for themselves. Norma describes the process and reads from the book and shares some of her thoughts on the current state of book bans and censorship culture. Dr. Norma E. Cantú is a scholar-activist who currently serves as the Norine R. and T. Frank Murchison Professor of the Humanities at Trinity University. She is founder and director of the Society for the Study of Gloria Anzaldúa. She has published fiction, poetry, and personal essays in a number of venues. Her latest book CHICANA PORTRAITS is an innovative collection that pairs portraits with critical biographies of twelve key Chicana writers, offering an engaging look at their work, contributions to the field, and major achievements. Artist Raquel Valle-Sentíes's portraits bring visual dimension, while essays delve deeply into the authors' lives for details that inform their literary, artistic, feminist, and political trajectories and sensibilities. The collection brilliantly intersects artistic visual and literary cultural productions, allowing complex themes to emerge, such as the fragility of life, sexism and misogyny, Chicana agency and forging one's own path, the struggles of becoming a writer and battling self-doubt, economic instability, and political engagement and activism. Biographies included in this work include Raquel Valle-Sentíes, Angela de Hoyos, Montserrat Fontes, Gloria E. Anzaldúa, Norma E. Cantú, Denise Elia Chávez, Carmen Tafolla, Cherríe Moraga, Ana Castillo, Lorna Dee Cervantes, Sandra Cisneros, and Demetria Martínez.

This week, authors and editors Lauren DeJulio Bell, Rebecca Makkai, and Daiva Markelis discuss their contributions to the collection Growing Up Chicago. This conversation originally took place May 15, 2022 and was recorded live at the American Writers Festival. AWM PODCAST NETWORK HOME About Growing Up Chicago: Growing Up Chicago is a collection of coming-of-age stories that reflects the diversity of the city and its metropolitan area. Primarily memoir, the book collects work by writers who spent their formative years in the region to ask: What characterizes a Chicago author? Is it a certain feel to the writer's language? A narrative sensibility? The mention of certain neighborhoods or locales? Contributors to the volume include renowned writers Ana Castillo, Stuart Dybek, Emil Ferris, Charles Johnson, Rebecca Makkai, Erika L. Sánchez, and George Saunders, as well as emerging talents. While the authors represented here write from distinct local experiences, some universals emerge, including the abiding influence of family and friends and the self-realizations earned against the background of a place sparkling with promise and riven by inequality, a place in constant flux. The stories evoke childhood trips to the Art Institute of Chicago, nighttime games of ringolevio, and the giant neon Magikist lips that once perched over the expressway, sharing perspectives that range from a young man who dreams of becoming an artist to a single mother revisiting her Mexican roots, from a woman's experience with sexual assault to a child's foray into white supremacy. This book memorably explores culture, social identity, and personal growth through the eyes of Chicagoans, affirming that we each hold the ability to shape the places in which we live and write and read as much as those places shape us. About the speakers: Lauren DeJulio Bell teaches in the Honors College at the University of Illinois at Chicago. She previously taught in the UIC English Department and the Chicago Public Schools district. She serves on the associate board of StoryStudio Chicago and leads a local project (We Are All Chicago), where she engages with the people of Chicago to foster civic engagement, community writing, and artistic endeavors. Rebecca Makkai is the Chicago-based author of the novels I Have Some Questions for You, The Great Believers, The Hundred-Year House, and The Borrower, as well as the short story collection Music for Wartime. The Great Believers was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, and received the ALA Carnegie Medal and the LA Times Book Prize, among other honors. Makkai is on the MFA faculties of Sierra Nevada College and Northwestern University, and she is Artistic Director of StoryStudio Chicago. Daiva Markelis is professor of English at Eastern Illinois University. Her creative nonfiction has appeared in New Ohio Review, Crab Orchard Review, The American Literary Review, Oyez, The Chicago Tribune Sunday Magazine, Writing on the Edge, Women and Language, The Chicago Reader, Mattoid, and The Fourth River. Her short stories have been published in The Cream City Review and Other Voices. In 2010, the University of Chicago Press published her memoir, White Field, Black Sheep: A Lithuanian-American Life.

Min 4: FILTRANDO BAJO EL LODO El thriller español “El lodo” lidera otra prolífica hornada de estrenos que nos prepara para una espectacular despedida cinematográfica de 2021. Alberto Luchini y Raquel Hernández se llenan los pulmones para la inmersión bajo los humedales levantinos y para evaluar una oferta de lo más heterogénea. Acompañan a “El Lodo” la también española “La vida era eso” (preestrenada en Abycine con la premiada Ana Castillo) mientras que el cine emotivo y el melodrama ponen tres tazas de sensibilidad con “La Familia Bloom”, “Querido Evan Hansen” y “Valentina”. La canadiense “Demonic” cubre la cuota semanal de terror en cartelera y Netflix avanza en salas exclusivas “No mires arriba”, la sarcástica comedia americana que encabezan nada menos que Meryl Streep, Leonardo Di Caprio y Jennifer Lawrence. Min 35. ESPECIAL BSO GHOSTBUSTERS “Cazafantasmas: Más allá” se ha convertido en el gran taquillazo del puente de diciembre y ha sido un auténtico revulsivo para las salas comerciales. Aprovechando este éxito, y como homenaje al clásico de 1984, Ángel Luque nos propone jugar al contraste: soltar en las ondas los temas pop de la primera entrega, disfrutar de la aportación instrumental del gran Elmer Bernstein y compararla con la más reciente, la compuesta por Rob Simonsen. Un tributo musical al estilo de banda sonora ocentera que tan bien ha resistido el paso del tiempo. En este capítulo nos toca cazar fantasmas presentes y pasados y ayudarte a elegir lo mejor de la extensa oferta cinematográfica de la semana. Gracias por confiar en “Estamos de Cine”. Feliz escucha.

“My poetry captures a moment,” remarked Dr. Castillo when asked about the process of writing her most recent collection of poems My Book of the Dead: New Poems (University of New Mexico Press, 2021). While many of us would be immobile at the news about the effects of climate disaster, school shootings, and anti-black racism which often resulted in extralegal violence, Ana Castillo reached for pen and paper. She processed these events through writing carefully, intentionally, and vividly about the world which gave rise to these catastrophes. She forces us to feel that moment with her – confusion, anger, grief. My Book of the Dead is the result of Ana's mourning turned artistic bodily expression. Each poem offers a snapshot in response to personal and national tragedies. Ana mourns loss at all levels – from the passing of artist friends she danced with to the national news of slain schoolchildren. “You hear of his death by the virus and // it all comes back – // meeting in Chicago, // celebrating his first novel, // dancing to a sweat together in New Orleans,” Ana writes in “Hache ¡Presente!” (8). Eight pages later she launches into an exhaustive yet incomplete list of mass shootings in the United States between 2016 and 2019. “+ Plus más – // domestic violence // deaths // at the hands // of someone that loved you, // loved your baby, // mother, // the neighbor upstairs who came running,” Dr. Castillo writes in “Mass Shooting (2016 to 2019 and Counting” (16-23). Sixty-three incidents of mass shootings span eight pages, each indicating the number of deaths in bold. These two poems sit alongside poems about anti-Black racism, police violence, and the threat to Democracy posed by the Trump administration. Dr. Castillo's My Book of the Dead also carries with it a sense of urgency about the future of the United States. By connecting the relationship between domestic terrorism (i.e., mass shootings and anti-Black racism) and the imperial violence inflicted across the world by the U.S. through bombs and other warfare, Ana takes to task the history and the present U.S. In “Xicanisma Prophecies Post 2012: Putin's Puppet,” Ana writes, “Putin's Puppet sees color and it revolts him. // Blacks belong in Africa, he opines, and Muslims must stay in the Mid-East. // Mexicans are the scourge. // Like with his father, // his father before him, and so on. Darker races serve their purpose – // servitude or genocide. // As for women – // you kill a rhino for sport or for its horns. // (A woman is worthwhile only if she enhances your status.)” (80). In several poems such as “Gotas caían en el techo” (31), “A Storm Upon Us” (3), and How to Tell You Are Living under Rising Fascism (A Basic Primer in Progress)” (41), she indicts the Trump Administration for advancing white supremacy, their attacks on history, and their denial of science. Ana is insistent about calling out every aspect of exactly how the rights of people of color, the elderly, and women are continuously being restricted. She is particularly focused on the plight of mothers.

Min. 0: INTRODUCCIÓN Abycine da el chupinazo a su ilusionante y presencial XXIII edición. La actriz Ana Castillo, protagonista en la apertura del festival con la presentación de su trabajo en “La vida era eso”, recibe el Premio Trayectoria Joven 2021 y deja un saludo muy especial a “Estamos de Cine”. Los hermanos Valle, responsables del corto de animación “Nacer”, nos dan en portada una buena nueva: este corto toledano está entre los 10 elegidos para los Goya 2021. Min. 5: MYERS SALPICA NUEStRO FILTRO LUCHINI A una semana de la Noche de Difuntos, el incombustible Michael Myers revitaliza su leyenda en “Halloween Kills” para saciar a los seguidores del cine de terror. Jamie Lee Curtis tira de familia para plantar cara al mal en la enésima pero ambiciosa entrega de la saga que ella misma inició en 1978. Alberto Luchini y Raquel Hernández desglosan lo mejor y lo peor del estreno más taquillero de la semana y el resto de títulos que la acompañan: “La crónica francesa”, de Wes Anderson; “Ron da error” y “Supernova”. También echamos un vistazo a las plataformas para avanzar la calidad de la serie de HBO “Succession”, que vuelve tras cerrar su última temporada con lluvia de premios y hablamos del fenómeno “El juego del calamar” y del polémico boom entre los menores de edad. Min. 40. ENTREVISTA CON PETER BEALE, EL PADRINO DE STAR WARS” Gracias al Festival de Cine de Castilla-La Mancha (FECISO), que le rindió homenaje en su gala de clausura, entrevistamos cara a cara al mismísimo Peter Beale, el productor ejecutivo de 20th Fox que en 1976 tuvo el olfato de creer y apoyar el proyecto de George Lucas sobre las aventuras galácticas de un tal Luke Skywalker, a la postre la primera entrega de una de las sagas más exitosas de la historia: “Star Wars”. Beale nos atiende en Toledo y nos habla del poso que le dejó trabajar con talentos como David Lean, Lucas, Ridley Scott, George Cukor o Ridley Scott. Min 47: BSO 50 AÑOS DE “LA NARANJA MECÁNICA” En 1971, tras provocar admiración con grandes películas como “2001: Una odisea del espacio” o “Senderos de gloria”, Stanley Kubrick agitó el mundo de la cultura con “La naranja mecánica”. Su particular estilo cinematográfico fue perfecto para llevar a la pantalla la rompedora novela de Anthony Burgues y su particularísima apuesta por la música clásica va a ser hoy pasto de nuestra sección dedicada a las bandas sonoras. Ángel Luque plantea un recorrido musical por una de las películas más preclaras sobre el problema de la violencia y de los excesos primarios del ser humano en la sociedad moderna. Gracias por elegirnos una semana más. Feliz escucha.

Today, we welcome Chicana novelist, poet, playwright, and independent scholar Ana Castillo who has been at the forefront of publishing works on the socio-political realities of the Chicana experience, including race and gender issues, since the 1970s.Ana reflects on the timeless impact of her work and recalls with great joy how fans would reignite that fire within her whenever they approach her to share how Massacre of the Dreamers, The Mixquiahuala Letters, and her other works inspired them.“It's always a risk,” says Ana, referring to her spontaneous approach to writing her books. She talks about how she and women who look like her serve as her greatest inspiration for each and every single one of her works.Ana speaks on how she digs deep to be able to write from different perspectives (ex. her own son, an Amazonian chief, etc.) for different genres, particularly when it comes to memoirs and poetry.Ana recounts a particularly notable experience reading a poem for an African American woman during her inauguration as the new president of the state university she graduated from.One of our members asks Ana: “Is it easier to write about lesbianism in Spanish versus in English?”An immigration attorney specializing in asylum cases explains how writing legal briefs is often heart-wrenching work. She asks Ana how she is able to navigate the difficulty of writing heavy material.Finally, Ana is asked, “Who [exactly] is the dead?” in the Book of the Dead.“What I write,” says Ana, “whether it's poetry, nonfiction, or a novel really comes from what I need to write at that time.” More specifically, she writes for women who look like her, at any point in time she is inspired to pen a new book. She hopes that, through her work, she continues to honor the Chicana experience.Connect with Las Doctoras:Visit their website: www.lasdoctoras.net Follow them on Instagram: www.instagram.com/las.doctoras

“One of the things that is dying is our planet. We hear these sirens every single day. We're being warned daily by experts and concerned people how vast that squandering is going. It's a case of urgency and it's astounding and a very sad, a very pathetic comment on modern life that most people are ignoring those signs. As a poet, it seems to me that one of the tasks that the poet takes on, it's a vocation that's born with it, it's this consciousness, this serving as witness.”Xicana activist, editor, poet, novelist, and artist Ana Castillo, was born and raised in Chicago. She is known for coining the term “xicanisma” which is defined in her book the Massacre of the Dreamers as, “a sociopolitical movement in the United States that analyzes the historical, cultural, spiritual, educational, and economic intersection of Mexican American women that identify as Chicana.” The term cross bred Chicana feminism, which came to include the indigenous ancestry of Mexican Americans, unifying us with our sisters on the other side of the border.· www.anacastillo.net · www.creativeprocess.info · www.oneplanetpodcast.org

Una conversación de lo más abierta y, sobre todo, llena de aprendizaje. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Big Island Business Series Part II: In this episode, Ana Castillo of The Castillo Collective, shares the story and design philosophy behind her Hawaiian home, built almost entirely out of recycled and salvaged materials. Together we explore the idea of doing more with less and how to allow the design of your home to grow with you and unfold as your needs change.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS & TOPICS DISCUSSED: Ana gives us a glimpse into her life path and what brought her to the Big Island of Hawai’i as well as the story behind the building of her unique home in Kealakekua Bay. Ana shares how a trip to Bali with her artist mother was the spark of inspiration she needed to pursue a career in design. In addition to her mother, traveling and immersing herself into the creative work of others acts as a huge source of inspiration for Ana. Ana’s design style / philosophy: “Our style and what we strive to do when we’re working with clients is create sustainable spaces that inspire intentional living.” Embracing the imperfect is a welcomed challenge. Ana describes the interesting attributes of her home; living in harmony with the natural environment, promoting a low-waste, minimalist style through the use of recycled and salvaged materials. Ana shares how the Hawaiian culture has influenced her approach to design projects, from respecting nature to paying attention to how a space makes you feel.  Ana recommends “slowing down and listening” when setting out to redesign your space.  On thrifting and working with vintage pieces: “Every piece has a story behind it. To put it in a new space gives it new life and yet it still retains its character and history”.   SHOW NOTES & REFERENCES: Connect with Ana: thecastillocollective.com | @thecastillocollective This episode is supported by our monthly patrons.
