Overview
After publishing fourteen books of poetry, Rudy Calderón introduces a collection of poetry that compiles the very best of his published poetry as well as introduces the reader to his more recent work. Known for his impassioned deliveries at poetry readings, Calderón has been invited to and read at legendary poetry spots like the Nuyorican Poet's Café and the Bowery Poetry Club in New York City as well as in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and throughout the Central Coast of California. Having published a good majority of his work in the Spanish language, this book allows the public to enjoy those poems for the first time in the English language and in-so-doing the reader will understand the level of commitment and reverence Calderón has given to this sacred art in general and to his Mexican-American and Latino sensibilities in particular. Moreover, the poetry community will be able to take-in the cultural, literary, and historical richness found in Calderón's work as they observe a poet who has worked tirelessly and with an unrelenting devotion in his pursuit to lay bare the deep riches of the Mexican-American experience.
