Poetry. LGBT Studies. Latino/Latina Studies. In LONG DISTANCE, the fourth title in the Canto Cosas poetry series, Steven Cordova vividly portrays the life of a young, gay, HIV-positive man living in New York. Cordova uses ironic humor to advance AIDS poetry, dissolving the figurative ghetto associated with it and describing a general human condition in which people of many backgrounds come to terms with a wide range of problems, some of them life-threatening.
