Love Revolution

Love Revolution presents a collection of poems by Robert Tinajero. Divided into five sections (three major and two smaller), Tinajero's verses explore a wide range of topics, situations, and emotions, particularly focusing on various types of love.

Some excerpts from poems:

this is my apology poem

God

i'm sorry for having written so many poems

and so few praising you

the love-armies assembled

but i did not enlist

i'm tired of soft poems today

i want my words to

jump up and stab a racist cop

put on gloves

sweat and bruise and bleed

help a migrant pick a thorny crop

so what kind of bullets are you putting in your gun

america?

if i'm hanging around

the wrong ol' town

i'm a spic
can i be american?

i'm trying to put into words

the poetry that drips from your body

may God bless me

with my own

nancy Reagan

maybe everywhere

is in the middle of nowhere


maybe it's all just physics

what street

will be the last one

my casket rolls through

pero la realidad es

el amor no es nicamente la belleza

los erticos fuegos en los cielos estrellados de Neruda

qu saba yo

de la viscosidad del amor?
