tengo las venas aculturadas —from "My Graduation Speech," by Tato Laviera A new collection of bilingual poems from the bestselling editor of Cool Salsa. Ten years after the publication of the acclaimed Cool Salsa, editor Lori Marie Carlson has brought together a stunning variety of Latino poets for a long-awaited follow-up. Established and familiar names are joined by many new young voices, and Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Oscar Hijuelos has written the Introduction. The poets collected here illuminate the difficulty of straddling cultures, languages, and identities. They celebrate food, family, love, and triumph. In English, Spanish, and poetic jumbles of both, they tell us who they are, where they are, and what their hopes are for the future. Review:"Powerful and immediate, these are voices students and teachers will want to share." Booklist Review:"Carlson has crafted an accessible gem of a collection, and teen readers of all backgrounds will find echoes of their own experiences in its pages." School Library Journal Review:"Biographical notes on the poets, and an introduction by Oscar Hijuelos round out this volume that will be appreciated by any young writer." Kirkus Reviews About the AuthorLori Marie Carlson is an editor, translator, and novelist who has concentrated on bringing Latino literature to American audiences.
