Join us for the September MOLAA Members Book Club meeting! Our book of the month is My AfroRican State of Soul: A Journey of Identidad, Struggle, Love & Faith by Lucas Rivera. Light refreshments will be served. The book can be bought online or in-person at the MOLAA store!
About the book: My AfroRican State of Soul is a blend of narrative nonfiction and poetry that chronicles Lucas Rivera’s journey toward intergenerational healing. This work speaks to budding young creatives and OG hip-hop heads who remember the dawn of an artistic era. Inspired by the culturally dynamic tradition of Afro-Puerto Rican poets such as Piri Thomas and Pedro Peitri, author Lucas Rivera draws upon their unfiltered approach in this decades-spanning body of work while also drawing from the emerging tradition of contemporary poetry and lyricism.
