Emergency Tacos: Seven Poets Con Picante
Product Description
Today you hear a lot about emergencies: emergency shelters, emergency medicine, emergency maneuvers, emergency pantries. Now emergency tacos...simon, que si, emergency tacos are what we ordered!
Who are we? We're the poets and participants from some of Chicago's diverse communities who blended time and energy to make homegrown cultural parrandas, under the banner of Galeria Quique.
...Entonces, "this is not a test." What you're holding is an actual emergency taco. Ojala, you'll savor the seven poetic flavors within and find them bien picoso.
~ Carlos Cumpian, editor, 1989
Review
"Since grain is the staff of life and poetry the meat, these seven cooks are many, but don't spoil this caldo de poesia. Instead, they flour metaphors and tropes with chills and tortillas, meeting our urgent hunger for soul and salsa con safes. So dig in and flourish. Amen and Awomen."
~ Marc Zimmerman, professor of Latin American Studies, University of Illinois at Chicago
"Seven midwest writers offer us insightful poetry in a veritable Chicago mestizaje...the 'Beats' have met Nezahualcoyotl. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Emergency Tacos."
~ Carlos Morton, playwright and professor of Drama, University of California, Riverside
