Customer Reviews

powerful and poignant poetry

Luis Rodriguez's poetry is powerful, sometimes gut-wrenching, honest and vibrant. It is unself-conscious and spontaneous. It sounds like he is just talking in his everyday language, which just happens to be in beautiful poetic phrases. He is one of our national treasures. His work can be a bridge between communities.
