Ángelo Néstore had never read poetry in front of an English-speaking audience before April 8. After reading their work in Spanish, at the end of the Zoom event — around 1 a.m. in Málaga, Spain, where Néstore lives — they answered questions from the audience in English.
Despite feeling exhausted from the time difference and answering questions in English, Néstore felt privileged to have a platform to share their poetry through Point of Contact Gallery’s Cruel April poetry series. They also were relieved that the audience liked the poems enough to ask them questions.
