Product Description
The book’s title embraces this writer’s concept of poetry writing. Juan Rodriguez shares his reactions to critical issues and experiences lived in New York, Texas, California and the Dominican Republic and his cruises to other countries. These poems present many facets of life through the impressions within the soul of this bilingual / bicultural poet whose horizon transcends cultural boundaries with passion and eloquence. This work covers human aspects of life in a manner that only a sensitive and experienced poet can reflect. Different phases of life in America are presented through the reflections of a young man, a mature man and a middle-aged man whose soul and passion extend throughout the book. The collection is varied in topics and style, and it demonstrates as similar a command of language as his five Spanish poetry books do. Dr. Rodriguez writes to communicate feelings and concepts with precision, not to confuse or to impress.
