These poems were collected and edited at Solentiname in Nicaragua in 1977 by the Venezuelan poet and workshop originator Mayra Jimenez.

Poetry. African American Studies. These poems reflect years of observation: checking out the street, listening to talkers, getting inside the heads of family members, and locating an aesthetic in the work of others. Maisha Baton casts a wise eye on a chaotic world where the human is sometimes obscured.

Poetry. Asian American Studies. Passionate and sensuous, these poems address both mind and body. The young Filipina poet proceeds with a sure understanding of the power of images to confront the instability of the world around her. Family, growth and decay, the politics of liberation are reflected with intensity.

Fiction. Women's literature. Meridel Le Sueur (1900-1996) lived all of her life in the middle west, where she became a voice of conscience for her time. Her second novel, I HEAR MEN TALKING, written in the 1930s but only published in 1984, is her most neglected work. This second edition, with a new introduction by Linda Ray Pratt, should help give this story of farm life in the Depression its rightful place in American literature. "Here are no Hollywood artifices, no easy conclusions, but a Midwest town caught up in a turmoil of desire, betrayal, birth, transformation--and, as Le Sueur so movingly renders it, hope" --Paul Lauter.

This is the second volume of poems by Naomi Quinnez to be published by West End Press. The first, "Sueno de Colibri/Hummingbird Dream," appeared in 1985. In this book the Los Angeles-born Chicana poet extends her geographical range, having lived in the last decade in Claremont, California; Charleston, West Virginia; and Paradise, California. Her poems, whether political, romantic, whimsical, or traditional, speak from the heart and embrace both the struggles and the people she has known since childhood."As a warrior of language, she aims to rupture silence and fill it with a new vitality."Francisco Lomel

These poems by a native son of the Embudo Valley in northern New Mexico express the heart of the poet at the margins of the city - Albuquerque, the place of all-night cafes, railroad tracks, and the pool tables of Jack's on Central. They also express the rhythms of the heart, whether in stately traditional narrative, in lyricism, or in the new language of the city street. Levi Romero has performed and published his poems extensively, winning awards in Blue Mesa Review and from the "Language of Life" series for KNME-TV in Albuquerque. This is his first volume of poetry.
