"We defy translation," Sandra María Esteves writes. "Nameless/we are a whole culture/once removed." She is half Dominican, half Puerto Rican, with indigenous and African blood, born in the Bronx.

Explores "the vast diversity of people who make the Bronx what it is--hustlers, gang bangers, immigrants, and the working poor and the powerful interests trying to make money off its struggling people.

It's an alternative Chicana perspective that's hip, street, and traveled. From Mexico and back, from Yale to El Barrio, these poems narrate the varied experiences of the city's fastest growing Latino population.
