"a Power Punch of Poetry" It’s the energy that comes busting through the poems. It’s the Life in the writing you want to open the book to get another hit of. It’s the freight train you just gotta jump on one more time so you can barrel on outta here, to that place where the tragedies are transmuted to triumphs. The train’s fast but the stops along the way to change -- they each hang forever in the air, on the page. Carmen Alicia Murguia is the author/conductor and the booktrain’s called The New Carmen! La Nueva Bizet! It captures the stops so you can return to their reverberations any time. Caution: This is a book that will open you up.
