"Life / to understand me / you have to know Spanish / feel it in the blood of your soul. / If I speak another language / and use different words / for feelings that will always stay the same / I don't know / if I'll continue being / the same person." ("Learning English" by Luis Alberto Ambroggio.) In sections titled "School Days," "Home and Homeland," "Memories," "Hard Times," "Time to Party" and "A Promising Future," poems of 29 Latin American writers are presented in both English and Spanish. A collection rich with language and memories, events and emotions grounded in Latino experience. (Age 12 and older)
