Wachale!: Poetry and Prose about Growing Up Latino in America

Gary Soto weighs in for another poetry anthology, Wachale! Poetry and Prose About Growing Up Latino in America, along with Pat Mora, Michelle Serros and others, edited by Ilan Stavans. The title ""Spanglish for... watch out"" says it all: this wide-ranging collection seeks to inspire the next generation of Latino writers. Brief biographical sketches introduce each effort; many are accompanied by a Spanish translation, including ""Deportee,"" written by Woody Guthrie and Martin Hoffman, also known as ""Plane Wreck at Los Gatos.""
