Overview

The pace of words and music, travel, tours through different cities, illness, and death, are some of the topics shaping The Wind's Archeology-a collection which, sometimes in pieces brief as breaths, other times in longer poems, does not leave behind poetic reflection nor a playful nor a playful vocal rhythm. So engaged, these themes of ""an almost feminine sensuality,"" as Naomi Ayala points out, ""add a magical dimension, elevating them to commemoration."" An individual who has, perhaps, made one of the most important contributions to Latin American poetry written in the United States. La Gaceta Iberoamericana, Washington, DC. His voice is wise and philosophical. It owns an inimitable cadence, uncommon good sense, and a smoldering depth-for there is fire in Ambroggio's blueness, an earthy eroticism in his lyric register. Oscar Hijuelos (Pulitzer Prize winner)
