His formal resources and finely tuned ear for sound patterns and language play remain astonishing. His poetical work, presented as a whole here for the first time, speaks more than ever to a moment in which border-crossing, cultural diversity, language-mixing and a multi-cultural vision of America are critical issues\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCAMINO IMAGINADO\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlue leaves, hojas rotas in the shape of stars.\u003cbr\u003eNi un \"no\" en tu vocabulario but for others;\u003cbr\u003eblue in place of green in the shape of Spain.\u003cbr\u003eOjos the color of dirt, chocolate, coffee, time, \u003cbr\u003eazules las horas, hojas de horas van y se van, \u003cbr\u003eni una palabra, ni una queja, nor broken bit\u003cbr\u003ea tu lado beside me andamos walking, sí walking\u003cbr\u003ecaminamos caminos like these, such streets, what\u003cbr\u003ecity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e7\/15\/95 Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alfred Arteaga\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0819579688\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780819579683\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wesleyan University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 1.00d","brand":"Alfred Arteaga","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43987481231615,"sku":"9780819579683","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9953f8d2-36ee-4ef3-9a1d-f9c1c91bbff0.jpg?v=1683289240","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/xicancuicatl-alfred-arteaga-9780819579683","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
