The Poetryhood | الحيّ الشعري

Carlos Andrés Gómez is a Colombian-American poet, speaker, actor and author of a wonderful poetry book titled “Hijito” & “Man Up: Reimagining Modern Manhood”.

Carlos spills out the beans of his life as a poetry performer in New York, he talks about his relationship with his mother tongue, his early inspiration to poetry as well as a unique learning experience at the Apollo!
