I just finished reading Bless Me Ultima--picked it up at a bus shelter!!! Who knew? You rock. It is a beautiful book and it made my day to come upon it.
Your discussion at Central Library the other night was wonderful and it made me think about the story of Antonio in new ways. Where did you find the poet Martinez?
