Sonnets and Salsa: Edition 2

Sonnets and Salsa gathers passionate verse that celebrates barrio life, cultural resilience, and social justice. Writing in a dynamic blend of English, Spanish, and Westside San Antonio code-switching, Tafolla captures the warmth and struggle of Mexican American working families, community leaders, and enduring cultural icons. From intimate tributes like 'The Storykeeper' and 'La Gloria' to the historic rallying cry of '¡Sí se puede!', each poem pulses with rhythm and unyielding truth.

This revised and expanded edition includes a full glossary of Spanish and Pachuco terms, making these landmark works accessible to students, educators, poetry lovers, and community scholars alike.
