Set in agricultural, chicano neighborhoods of Modesto, California, where the poet grew up, as well as in gritty Hollywood streets, and hip downtown Los Angeles, these poems are beautiful and moving, telling the stories of real people, each one of whom is an "other country." There are allusions to fairy tales (Lorca, Walt Whitman, Colette, Rimbaud), tales of getting green crds, of small town drag queens, of landscape, love, and language.
Garcia, Ramon: - Ramon Garcia has published poetry in many journals and anthologies including The Americas Review, Best American Poetry 1996, Ambit (UK), The Floating Borderlands: Twenty-Five Years of U.S.-Hispanic Literature, Margie: The American Journal of Poetry, Crab Orchard Review, Poetry Salzburg Review (Austria), Borderlands: The Texas Poetry Review, Los Angeles Review, and Mandorla: New Writing from the Americas.
