In verses dense with juxtaposition, the collection examines immigration, economics, colonialism and race via the sublime imagery of music, visual art, and history. Toro draws from his own social justice work in various U.S. cities to create a kaleidoscopic vision of the connections between the personal and the political, the local and the global, in a book that both celebrates and questions the complexities of the human condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vincent Toro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0143135341\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143135340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/02\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.90w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2020 pg. 18\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2020 pg. 71","brand":"Vincent Toro","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995842281727,"sku":"9780143135340","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b3521dcb-c28e-444d-b8f3-114a2611f709.jpg?v=1683338173","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tertulia-vincent-toro-9780143135340","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
