The Threat

This is the second book of poems and short stories by Manuel and Leonor. It is a collection of recent memories, observations and even dreams as well as experiences from as far back as childhood. The diversity of subjects they touch on again is impressive. Each new page practically offers a completely new subject whether it is a poem or short story. They begin this volume with a short poem that makes a comment on current society in America and end with a poem about a certain Mexican disgrace. The content and variety in between can vary from a short poem with just 9 words about 'writing' to a short story of 9 pages about a certain 'threat.'
