Summary:

In lyrical, original language expressing anger, hope, optimism and fierce independence, Naomi Ayala explores being Puerto Rican on the mainland -- displaying pride in her culture coupled with the pain of exclusion, vividly describing her encounters with racism and poverty, and the power of love in these difficult circumstances. "Naomi Ayala writes poems like water, a clear, strong current, sometimes tranquil, sometimes furious, but always swirling with life"
