We are fortunate to interview José Olivarez about his poetry collection, Citizen Illegal, which was a finalist for the PEN / Jean Stein award & winner of the 2018 Chicago Review of Books Poetry Prize, discussing cultural & familial themes; musical & religious allusions; literary influences, mentor poets, & teachers (academic & community-based), & the value of open mics. José closes with a special message for EPCC students!
