Reviews
Grade 7-12-- A collection of 23 free-verse poems, each prefaced with a comment on how it came to be written. All reflect Soto's own experiences of growing up as a Mexican American in California, and, later, as the father of a young child. The poems, about everyday activities and events, are similar to Paul Janeczko's work in Brickyard Summer (Orchard, 1989). In the brief foreword and a question-and-answer section in the back of the book, Soto explains how he came to write poetry and why he writes as he does. Like the selections and comments by a number of contributors in Janeczko's The Place My Words Are Looking For (Bradbury, 1990), Soto's poems and thoughts provide gentle encouragement to young people who are seeking to express themselves through the use of language. --Barbara Chatton, College of Education, University of Wyoming, Laramie
