From the Book - First edition.
Blessed be the truth-tellers
People like us are dangerous
A traveling salesman in the gardens of Paradise
My heart kicked like a mouse in a paper bag
The hole in the bathroom ceiling
His hands have learned what cannot be taught
The poet's son watches his father leave for another gig
Mr. and Mrs. Rodriguez have been deported, leaving six children behind with the neighbors
The swimming pool at Villa Grimaldi
The buried book of Jorge Montealegre
The Playboy calendar and the Rubdiyat of Omar Khayyam
Like a word that somersaults through the air
Visions of the chapel ceiling in Guadalajara
The day we buried you in the park
Instructions on the disposal of my remains
Litany at the tomb of Frederick Douglass.
