REVIEW QUOTES

"In language that is always surprising and never didactic, the poems both celebrate and condemn, instruct and honor." --San Francisco Chronicle Review"Astonishingly bold young poet." --The New York Times Book Review"Without ever relying on abstractions such as 'racism' or 'poverty', [Marín Espada] brings the reader face to face with these conditions by showing us the human tissue these terms so often mask." --Bloomsbury Review
