Maria Bonita: Poems/Poemas

By Dionisio de la Viña

What happens to love during persecution? What is the responsibility of the poet during persecution? How does the poet defend his people during persecution? Does the poet suffer important transformations during times of oppression? How does the poet confront the oppressor? How does it feel to live at or near the ground zero of hatred? What should be the relationship between the poet and nature under the weight of evil? The poems in this collection address these and other urgent questions about the politics of race in what has now become the most hateful state in the union: Arizona.
