“If you're looking for a great poetry read, may I point you
toward these poems of Salvador Villanueva translated by Gustavo Rivera. It's
the first time Villanueva, a crucial Puerto Rican poet, has been [totally] published
in English and it retains the original artwork from this collection's original
1974 publication in Spanish. It's got everything I dig – short poems and a
heavily 70s’ feel with very modern resonance,”
- Mike Ostrov, editor and writer from Florida with
fiction in various journals and current writing @ haiku.reviews
“These poems touch on politics but in an introspective way,
one that embraces life’s shifts and hardships — with dignity, humor, and
reflection,”
- Eric Steineger, Senior Poetry Editor @ The Citron
