Editorial Reviews

"Carlos Cumpián's poems are brave, funny and passionate tales of all our lives." —Achey Obejas


"Carlos Cumpián writes poems brimming with Chicano life, full of anger, humor, and irony. The explosive energy of these poems flows into a vision of justice, gleaming from the page. Cumpián cares deeply, urgently, and so will the readers of this book." —Martin Espada
