Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. In his first collection of poems, Levi Romero expresses the heart of a stranger at the margins of a city--Albuquerque. His sturdy judgment, self-deprecating humor, and respect for his friends and culture give this volume its appeal. Whether sympathizing with a friend's humiliating circumstances or talking to a girl on a phone from a bar, Romero projects a personality both guileless and sensitive.
