In this episode, I read "You bring out the Mexican in me" by Sandra Cisneros. It is one of my favourite poems, originally written in 1994 and from her anthology Loose Woman. I have tried to include as many translations as possible in the recitation since it has some phrases and words in Spanish and some specific Mexican references. Trust me the beauty of the poem is in its rhythmic passion so do give it a listen. And if you find yourself unable to relate to it, head over to my adaptation of this poem that I have included in a subsequent bonus episode :) Listen in!
