Description: In his fifth collection, Martin Espada combines the personal with the political to reflect revelation and transcendence. The heart of the collection is a series of autobiographical poems recalling family, school, neighborhood, and work experiences--wherein Espada celebrates the bread of the imagination, the bread of the table, and the bread of justice.
Review Quotes: Martín Espada is well on his way to becoming the Latino poet of his generation.--Earl Shorris
