"Eduardo Arocho is a poet we have been waiting for. His Boricua roots and his barrio ties to Chicago's Humboldt Park are strong, vivid, and impenetrable. He's the voice of one of the country's most important but greatly neglected neighborhoods. Through the cracks of gunfire, the rhythms of bomba, plena and street mixes, and the varied sexualities, flavors, and accents of our barrio, Eduardo dares truth and dancing. Asi y asa."
