Vivas to Those Who Have Failed: Poems by Martín Espada

5.0

I always feel the need to qualify my review of poetry by saying I'm no expert, but ultimately that's not really what poetry is about, is it? It's about emotion and these poems were powerful for me. Free verse odes to the powerless, the working class, those who stand up for what they believe and for those who can't stand up for themselves. It's revolutionary humanism.
