Notes

Description
Crecer como hispanoestadounidense en América significa hablar dos idiomas, vivir dos vidas, y aprender las reglas de dos culturas. Cool Salsa celebra los tonos, los ritmos, los sonidos y las experiencias de esa doble vida. En este libro se encuentran poemas sobre las familias y las fiestas, los insultos y las memorias tristes, los "hot dogs" y los mangos, las sílabas dulces de español y las muchas trampas de inglés. Se incluyen poemas de Sandra Cisneros, Martín Espada, Gary Soto, y Ed Vega, junto con una introducción muy personal por Oscar Hijuelos.
Description
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.
