The collection features autobiographical poems that intertwine personal experiences with political themes, reflecting on family, community, and the author's diverse roles, including that of a bouncer and tenant lawyer. It explores moments of revelation and social justice, culminating in an elegy for Puerto Rican poet Clemente Soto Velez, who was imprisoned for his independence advocacy. Through these poems, Martín Espada celebrates the richness of imagination and the quest for justice.
