Borrowed Bones

This chapbook collection offers new poems from the prolific career of a community leader, activist, and healer. Luis J. Rodrguezs 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, Martn Espada describes the poet as a man engaged in people and places: ""Luis Rodrguez 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 Peoples Sonnets. He speaks in the language of protest. He speaks in the language of praise.
