Summary

"These poems are deceptively simple. While maintaining the viewpoint of a child, Garcia employs sophisticated rhymes and techniques and suffuses the poems with humor. His work links ancient Spanish literary forms with the vernacular language of the village to produce a profoundly authentic New Mexican rural Spanish."--BOOK JACKET.
