Tony Robles speaks to poet Christian Hanz Lozada on his forthcoming book, He’s a Color Until He’s Not. Lozada is the son of a Filipino, immigrant father, and a mother who traces her ancestry to the confederate south. Lozada speaks on his identity and how both sides of him conflict and inform his poetry. He also speaks on being a Southern California writer following in the legacy left by writers, such as John Fante and Charles Bukowski.
