DIAGRAM OF MARADONA'S HAND OF GOD
I found this the other night on Wikipedia, and would like to give credit to Enriquecardova at en.wikipedia as he was the original uploader...However, you can also find this image on the Wikipedia article for Maradona's Hand of God goal.
The title of this web blog is a neologism created by Yago S. Cura: a compound of the derogatory word for Latinos, "spic," and the Spanish literary tradition, "Picaresque," from which the modern novel descends.
Yago's poetry has appeared in Lungfull!, Borderlands, COMBO, LIT, U.S. Latino Review, PALABRA, Exquisite Corpse, Field, Slope, and The New Orleans Review. Yago's reviews have appeared in The St. Mark's Poetry Project Newsletter.
In 2008, Yago was one of many narrators of the "Human Resources" episode of National Public Radio's "This American Life" that highlighted the NYC/DOE's gulag for alleged-against teachers: the Rubberroom.
Yago's poetry manuscript, Spicaresque, was a finalist in the National Poetry Series and the Andres Montoya Poetry Prize.
