Not my favorite of Espada's collections, but it was the only book of his that I could afford when I met him and could have it signed. I have great memories of meeting him. His voice booms when he reads, and it hits you in the chest. His eyes, while lightish are really deep. And he liked the haiku on my back. This signed edition reads "For Naomi-- and her haiku."

This volume combines the poems from Espada's critically acclaimed collection of poetry TRUMPETS FROM THE ISLANDS OF THEIR EVICTION with a selection of poems from his first book, The Immigrant Iceboy's Bolero, which is now out of print. Espada's work is characterized by its intensity, its sincerity, and its insight into the lives of diverse characters. Influenced by his Puerto Rican background, Espada gives a distinctive voice to his community. "Martin Espada defines political poetry for the turn of the century"--The Nation.
