Tender fury in poetic words

Zapata's Disciple is a collection of short essays and poetry by Martin Espada, whom I consider the greatest Latino poet writing today. His poetry is insightful, politically unrelenting; anger tempered with the love that only one so connected to his roots and community can articulate. Espada's tribute to Mumia will move you to tears. His images are powerful and his message is the most relevant writing of our times. A must for your library.
