81 Pages. The author's eight-line inscription is on the title page. No defects noted to this As New book with flawless interior text pages. The poems of Luis Lopez are little vignettes in the author's memories of growing up in an Albuquerque Hispanic barrio, the grocery store he worked in, and the neighborhood church. Lopez has the storyteller's gift of characterization and his poems give life to all the family members and neighbors who populated the beloved neighborhood of his childhood. Lopez's descriptive details create living and breathing characters whom we immediately recognize. To read these poems is to hear all the secrets of life Lopez learned as he grew up. These poems will resonate deeply in the reader, for they tell the universal truths of life in the way all great poems do. They will remind you of all the joys and sorrows of your own life. Every neighborhood deserves a poet as gifted as Lopez to keep its spirit alive in the world. The titles of his poems explain as much as the poems do. There are 51 of them as follows: From a Ten Year Old Sack Boy, Father Dan, only now I realize, Images of San Luis, Gloria, buscando la gloria eterna, it is morning (akin to buscando), Adan, Telemo, Mario Martinez, Solomon, Mr. Evans, Mr. Baca, EI Senor Rodriguez, Mr. Loftus, Mr. Hutchinson, EI Senor Dunworth, Mr. Dow, Mr. Gutierrez, Santos, La Serial de la Cruz, Fred, Annie, Milagro entre Comestibles (Akin to Annie), Back Then, Genes, the picket fence, four old men, Tano and Jimmy and Joe, Senor Mr. Fixit, Felina, To a Coal Miner, Pascual, Nehi Strawberry, Tornasy, Nino, My Neighbor, roll-your-own, Petrita (Akin to "My Neighbor"), Fiat Lux, A Novice among Professionals, Botella, Bread Pudding, Encounter with La Llorona upon His Return from Harvard, Elifas, Outcast Grave, Carmela, The Lord's Day at the Grocery Store, Spearmint Gum, and Boiled Ham.…
