OverviewThrough familiar details - leaking faucets and lowriders, chicharrones and chicken coops - Levi Romero remembers familia, comunidad, and tradiciones from his upbringing in northern New Mexico's Embudo Valley. Alongside his training and jobs in the building trades and the architectural profession, and now a teacher, his writing has maintained and nurtured his connection to the unique people and land he knows so well and that have seldom been represented in American poetry.

He can walk up a New Mexico arroyo and come back with a mysterious object full of quotidian magic. Like a rusted tobacco can the grandfathers used to roll their smokes. And when you pry open the lid, you can hear their laughter and gossip coming out. That's what he does in poem after poem. I read his work and I learn again how to love this life. - Luis Alberto Urrea Author InformationLevi Romero teaches in the School of Architecture and Planning at the University of New Mexico. He is also the author of In the Gathering of Silence. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
