Juan Felipe Herrera: Political Performer
By Bobby Rodriquez
Poet Juan Felipe Herrera, the self des¬
cribed political performer, was on cam¬
pus recently performing works from his
iorthcoming books, "Exiles of Desire"
and "Akrilica".
Herrera, the editor of the literary
journals: E Tecolote Literarioa, Meta-
morfosis, Red Trapeze, and Vortice,
shared his poetry with an audience of
approxiametly 300 people.
The highly expressive Herrera con¬
veyed his work through words, actions
and slides. The TROCA Rhythm and Sign
Ensemble also performed.
His work, which has been published in
a variety of national and international
journals, magazines and anthologies, mir¬
rors the struggles that the people in Latin
America are faced with and also the
struggles that Chicanos in the U.S. are
facing.
In a taped interview Juan Felipe gave
La Voz an insight into what he feels his
poetry is about wrjerehe sees the state of
Chicano art, what his message is in rela¬
tion to his poetry. The following is the
result of that interview:
La Voz: What was your childhood life
like? _    ,
Herrera: Well, I was born in FowleT, but I
really didn't grow up m Fowler. My
parents were on a farm working trail. My
mother was 8 months pregnant at the
time we were in Fresno, and there I was,
ready to be born to the work). We stayed
6 more months till the end of the »ea*on
and then moved on the Gilroy, Cupertino,
Stockton; and up and down California. 1
was brought up like that, for the first 8
La Voz: Any brothers and sisters?
Herrera: No, I didn't have any brothers
and sister* which has been a key powtjon
for me to be in. It's b»en a key powtion for
me, in the seme that being an only child
and having to grourup _t*«*ry hard con
working clat* situation, 1 had to make
choice, to go all the way in everything 1
did, because I was the only one to give it a
go. That means I had to go through alot of
things, which means poetry, which means
college, which means going into the move-
miento full blast, which meant taking on
literary journals, and that kind of ap¬
proach to things.
La Voz: What started you writing poetry?
Herrera: Well, it's alot of things, right? It
was my own personal upbringing; my
family world, stories of the family, the
religiosity of early chicano life. They all
played a part. The world of the church
influenced me also. The mexican/chicano
moods of ecstasy that are somehow con
with the church; las fiestas, bazaars, com¬
munion, confirmation. The old combos-
were a part of it, too; the popular music of
Mexico, Pedro Infante, Maria Felix,
Piporo. Hanging around San Diego, being
brought up in Tijuana, crossing over to
see my buddies and "buddiettes", going
to see boxing matches, the night clubs of
Tijuana, all that. The other thing is what
was happening in the late sixties, when I
was coming out of high school the movem-
iento, the turning of the world. It pushed
alot of people out of their structures, and
gave us a choice of making history in a
sense, verdad? So that's where poetry
really got going for me.
La Voz: Do you remember your first
poem?
Herrera: Yeah; 1 have three "first" poems.
One "first" poem was called "Electric
Hotel". It was in 1966 and it was published
in the San Diego high school newspaper.
La Voz: how old were'you?
HerTera: 1 was 16. I was tripping on
Hermann Hesse. He had a passage in
Steppenwo- that deals with the masjcal
hotel, and he goes into a dream sequence
and he goes crazy, verdad? Another
"first" poem was about the sun, aB in
Spanish, it was a take off of Pasternak.
The third "first" poem which got
published in 1968, in Inside Ea*t*kle, an
East L.A. Chicano paper, wa* caBed "A
Certain Man", that had to do with, die
Americanization of Rasa, an the «v«nt-
urikgot pubWMd m "Inside the My ot
the Shark"	
La Voz: What kind of message are you
trying to give with your poetry?
Herrera: It's a multiple message with
pultiple voices really. I couldn't tone it
down to one. I want to give a messafe of
what poetry is, to begin at that level, at an
abstract level. It's not just a introspective
muted voice. Also it's not just shouting
your head off and spiOing your guts out on
the floor about getting it together; organisate
Herrera: I think it's up for grabs right now.
Some how I think that many, of the artistic
works in the realm of the "movement are
coming to a peak, to a peak of solidinca-
•tjon and rr^tutJonaSzation. We no longer
have B Teatro Campesno. We now have
El Teatro (^mpensino Play House and
that's not bad right or good, but I'm saying,
it's an institution now. It's no longer a
raging roving troup of mad raza casting
the new formulas for the future and you
find that in other forms,too So we've
created a tradition fn the last lSyears and
now were faced with the weight of that
tradition we've bu_t,m all realms: teatro,
poetry, exhibiting, and chicano produc¬
tions. So do we become crushed by our
institutions, or do we adapt? We need to
re-think where we are at as artists and
come up with something «!•*, something
more vocal and threatening, to those
thing* we want to change.
La Voz: More experimental?
Herrera: Yeah, I aoe experimenting as a
major -tapping (ton* that ha* to be mode.
Otherwise, we're going to crytta-ze into
Chicano art rnonofith*.
La Voz: How would chicano art be
cru*h*d?
Herrenu ,m marry woy*. Foe example, a
th*atr* that becomes incorporated Wo
and join* th* Th****T Quid, which al
thsafer* and actor* are * part ot You
then have to batfo to compete mttmms-
ato«_Hra^th«tb*oMtM»aiwyiMu*,a*
opposed to dealing with issues that are
. relevant to hit at in drama. You may not
have the professional experience but you
go for it, and right now that's not the
primary issue in some of the theater
groups. Right now, the emphasis is more
on professional competition. And that s
the danger of our voice being crushed—
our rebellious voice not our creative
voice. We have to learn not to be comfor¬
table and compiac«nt about the institu¬
tions we've buBt.
La Voz: What positive things are going
Herrera: Good things are happening in¬
ternally. Writer* are forming groups.
There 10 to 15 writing cc#*cuve* in Cali-
fomia, and thahjakrt. Wearebe^nninftto
build linkages with Mexico, South Amer¬
ica, and The Carrfcean.
La Voz: How would you describe your
style of poetry?
Herrera: III leave that to the critics, be¬
cause I would like to make it a difficult
analysis for people to figure out what my
style is. I Kke to have many styles in order
to address different audiences and
La Voz: What advice would you give to
future Chicano poets?
Herrera. My advice to Raza writers, just
at the level of feeing* is to say everything
you want to say in any form. You don't
have to compromise what you want to say
in any particular model of writing, •
whether it'* coming from your teacher or
any other Chicano writing book*, like
