A Visit with Los Angeles Poet Laureate, Luis Rodriquez
Rodriguez is convinced that a writer can change the world. Indeed it was

violence and despair he endured for years as an East L.A. gang member. Today

juvenile detention facilities, schools and universities, migrant camps,
Native American reservations and homeless shelters, sparking dialogue on the
complex but vital issues of race, class, gender and personal rage.
