American Book Award winner Renato Rosaldo writes with grace about age and injury: topics too often ignored in both life and poetry. He addresses his experience with grace and humor, frustration and agony, and emerges wiser than before. These poems advance the awareness and compassion readers have come to anticipate from the author of The Chasers, The Day of Shelly's Death, and Prayer to Spider Woman/Rezo a la mujer aran¿a.
