Episode 9: A conversation with Lucrecia Guerrero, author of On the Mad River

  • Summary

  • On this episode of Words on a Wire, host Daniel Chacón talks with author Lucrecia Guerrero about her new book, On the Mad River (Mouthfeel Press, 2024).


    Lucrecia Guerrero grew up in Nogales, Arizona in a bilingual and bicultural home--her mother is from Kentucky, her father from Mexico. Both parents held a fierce pride in their perspective cultures and shared stories with their children. Guerrero is proud to say that she was raised on biscuits and gravy with a jalapeno on the side. Her stories inevitably involve cultural clashes between experience and tradition; and explore themes such as the abuse of power, both political and personal, and the strength and beauty of the human spirit.


    Guerrero has lived in the Midwest for years where she teaches creative writing.
