nineteen sixty nine: an ethnic studies journal

Reviews:

“His poetic vision is unerring, as much when he deals with the daily and ordinary as when he addresses the larger socially and politically relevant subjects. His unique voice derives substance and sustenance from three confluent linguistic streams and the cultures that provide their diversely essential and fundamental elements. These vital elements blend and mix to form, inform and shape a new reality. This is the place where José’s poetry originates and out of which he “seek(s) no exit,” embracing instead “what is broken.”

“José Hernández Díaz is a disciplined, self-starting, and a very ambitious young poet. I've

also received notices of his frequent public readings of his poetry. I highly recommend

him to the MFA in Creative Writing program, Poetry, at Antioch University in Los

Angeles, where I've taught for thirteen years. I'm sure his future publications, and stature

as a poet, will bring pride to this Poetry program.”
