Cool salsa : bilingual poems on growing up Latino in the United States

Carlson, Lori M., (editor.). Hijuelos, Oscar, (editor of compilation.).

Summary: Poems celebrating Hispanic culture are the focus of this collection. Liberal sprinkling of Spanish words and phrases with some poems translated from one language to another make this an ideal anthology for both the English class and the bilingual ESL classroom. Topics for poems extend from hot dogs to learning English to the revolution in Nicaragua. What all of the selections have in common is the adolescent experience at the core of the poem.
