Taco Shop Poets
Chorizo Tonguefire
Co-produced by the Taco Shop Poets and Calaca Press
 
Taco shop poets, poetry of aromas, sounds and images of busy taquerías (taco shops), a combination of menudo, pozole and why not! Gallina Pinta. Taco shop poets are the fire sizzling of carne asada, waiting to be eaten with words of wisdom. Taco shop poets are the combination of arroz, frijoles chinos and of course, la salsa viva.
 
Taco shop poets, three dimensional words of cutting edge poetry oral language, are the resonence of an ancient rythm, la nación tricolor. The words of Adrian Arancibia, Adolfo Guzman Lopez, Tom S Riley and Miguel-Angel Soria can only said to be the perfect combination of nuestro sabor, our flavor to the otherwise stale nation of words. Music sounds of Michael Figgins, Kevin Green and Lennon Honor, are the wind from a forced aroma, spicing the food to mind, the mind language and words of taco shop poets.
