It Calls You Back: An Odyssey through Love, Addiction, Revolutions, and Healing
Foreword by MartÃn Espada
This chapbook collection offers new poems from the prolific career of a community leader, activist, and healer. Luis J. RodrÃguez’s work asks profound questions of us as readers and fellow humans, such as, "If society cooperates, can we nurture the full / and healthy development of everyone?" In his introductory remarks, MartÃn Espada describes the poet as a man engaged in people and places: "Luis RodrÃguez is a poet of many tongues, befitting a city of many tongues. He speaks English, Spanish, ‘Hip Hop,’ ‘the Blues,’ and ‘cool jazz.’ He speaks in ‘mad solos.’ He speaks in ‘People’s Sonnets.’ He speaks in the language of protest. He speaks in the language of praise."
