"Golden Ax" is Cortez’s latest poetry collection. Here, she reckons with growing up Black in the Salt Lake City area, exploring her family’s history of settling in the West — what she calls “Afro-pioneerism.” She also recalls her recent ancestors, including athlete and Mormon convert Abner Leonard Howell. This Friday at noon, Rio Cortez joins us for an intimate conversation about her work.
