Heart Strong, Selected Poems 2000-2012, offers the reader 135 poems and 40 drawings from the twenty first century poems written by Nina Serrano in San Francisco, California, in Mexico, and in Cuba. Heart Strong's poetry comes from Nina Serrano's dreams, her garden, her walking on picket lines, and observations of city life. The graphics include drawings and photos, all but nine of which are Nina's own. "The doubts and wondering are passed and a sense of knowing sets into my words."
