He is a Poet and Writer in Residence at Re Arte and also author of 'Mowing Leaves of Grass'. Author Paul Ortiz wrote "Matt Sedillo's poetic work is full of history, struggle, tragedy, anger, joy, despair, possibility and faith in the struggles of working class people to overcome the forces of capitalism and racism.” Cambridge Professor, Thomas Jeffrey Miley called his poetry “electric, like a lightning bolt” and sees the work as a foray into Sociology, into Marxist Geography, as Sedillo roams the streets of Los Angeles, reporting what he sees and relaying what he knows. Famed journalist Greg Palast summed it up: “Sedillo is Vengeance — the one we've been waiting for." Matt Sedillo also has been called the "best political poet in America" as well as "the poet laureate of the struggle" by academics, poets, and journalists alike. He has appeared on CSPAN and has been featured in the Los Angeles Times, among other publications.

Spoken-word poetry can be a powerful art form of personal testimony, of protest, of activating on social and environmental concerns. On this show, we look into poetry artivism, the mixing of art and activism, where words can become catalysts intended to change the way people envision their world and act within it. Awa Ndiaye [https://www.humanitei.art/about] is a spoken word poet whose work explores various themes including identity, social justice, and climate change.

For more than thirteen years Matt Sedillo has been one of the most outspoken and uncompromising contemporary political poets in the United States. Born in El Sereno, California in 1981, Matt Sedillo writes from the perspective of a second-generation Chicano born in an era where a continually diversifying population has witnessed continually dwindling opportunities and the deterioration of both the country's infrastructure and economy firsthand. Since his debut, the two-time national slam poet, and the Literary Director for the dA Center of the Arts has crafted poetry that has been described as both fearless, and at times even confrontational. With his deep comprehension of U.S. history, Matt Sedillo has effortlessly blended humor, history, and political theory into his work serving as a reflection of the lived realities of many in this country face who face discrimination and bear the brunt of systemic racism and structural inequality. During our discussion with Matt Sedillo, we were able to talk about his early years, the origins of his poetry career, his latest book Mowing Leaves of Grass, and his take on the current state of contemporary politics in the United States.

Reading a poem from Matt Sedillo helped me realize we are indeed the same. A verse in one of his poems read.... "Like me and you... We are made of Stars!" Poetry is Powerful and Beautiful at the same time.  I believe Matt brings excitement in rare form. Promoting Chicano Art and Gente should be a Core Value of all Chicanos let alone one of the few Platforms we have as Chicanos. Hosting Guest speakers like Mr. Sedillo is currently our direction moving forward as an ongoing concern. We are the same however many times our journey as Chicanos is different and difficult to express because it does not seem that many of us Represent. When do we start telling our story? How do we express our lives in art? Are we experiencing life differently?  These views are powerful and life changing to say the least and this Chicano perspective or vantage point is Liberating in its own unique way.  Is Art subjective, Are we different or are we all the same? Our essence or identity in being Chicano resonates and to me is important. Knowing "WE" too like others "EXIST" in this Life we call "Our Experience". Matt is not just a Poet... he is Chicano like you and me and as an artist he is extremely articulate in the form of Political Slam Poetry rather Chicano Poetry.  Support Chicano Business by looking up Matt's publisher Flowersong Press in Mcallen, Texas or buy his new book "Mowing Leaves of Grass" and explore this piece of "Revolutionary Composition".  Matt mentions his literary Style or 3 act poem, impressions growing up, and connections to those in Academia whom he has influenced to teach his book in College curriculums or Chicano Studies. In this episode we talk about life, poetry, capturing an audience with Drama and insight that inspire.  Matt has been on CSPAN.   The LA Times & L.A. Taco have reviewed his work. He is definitely a person to have on our Radar. In our interview Matt reads a few poems. Here is a link to a YouTube performance you might like but make sure you listen to the podcast 1st...

Feliz Cinco De Mayo! I am joined on the podcast this week by Xicano poet and author, Matt Sedillo, of Tele-Jaguar; and by Rudy Mondragon, co-host of The Split Draw Podcast.The episode is all about "Mexican-Style" boxing, and Matt and Rudy discuss their ongoing project on “Mexican-Style” boxing. They both get into the actual boxing style, the narratives, stereotypes, and contradictions associated with "Mexican-Style" boxing. Matt and Rudy also push back against the racist stereotypes that "Mexican-Style" boxing is unskilled, savage, and un-scientific; narratives pushed by the white boxing establishment. However, Mexican and Xicana/o boxers, and even European boxers such as Gennady Golovkin, aka "Triple G,"  embrace the style and narratives of Mexican-Style boxing. We also discussed and previewed the Andy Ruiz Jr. vs. Chris Arreola fight on May 1, 2021 (we now know Ruiz Jr. won with a unanimous decision) and the Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez vs. Billy Joe Saunders annual Cinco De Mayo fight this upcoming Saturday, May 8, 2021. I also asked Matt and Rudy who their favorite Mexican/Xicano fighters of all time are.  I end the podcast with my Molotov MVP, Muhammad Ali, and my second Xicana/o Sports History segment on legendary Chicano movement activist and Crusade For Justice founder, Rodolfo 'Corky' Gonzales. Corky was not only one of the most important figures of the Chicano movement, but he was also a former professional boxer, who retired in 1955 with a 63-11-1 record.
