But no one wrote it down, and I was left to construct a poetic history where there were no written records . . .\"\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Leo Romero stands as a foundational figure in Latino letters. With six books of poetry and a book of short fiction to his name, Romero's contribution to the literary canon is profound and enduring. \u003cbr\u003e Bringing together for the first time his new and selected poems, \u003ci\u003eTrees Dream of Water\u003c\/i\u003e reflects Romero's journey from youth to maturity as a person and a poet, and his deep connection to New Mexico and its culture. Traversed by memory, myth, and observation of the natural world, these poems explore family, community belonging and conflict, life as an artist, and the cycles of life and death. This lyrical anthology includes accompanying essays to illuminate Romero's life and work for longtime admirers and new readers alike. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leo Romero\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0816554226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816554225\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Arizona Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/25\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"Leo Romero","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46451213467903,"sku":"9780816554225","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fe0e9f5c-b602-4e1b-9cd8-9482be9b4cd6.jpg?v=1735876800","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/trees-dream-of-water-leo-romero-9780816554225","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
