Messengers of Rain: And Other Poems from Latin America

Hardcover

From the Publisher: 

Latin America has always been a full contributor to the rich poetic tradition of the Spanish language. Even before the arrival of the Spanish, the native peoples of Central and South America had a poetic idiom of their own. This anthology for young readers, which contains 64 poems from nineteen countries, presents a fascinating mix of established and new poets. A significant portion of the book comes from the native community. Traditional pre-Columbian work is juxtaposed with young indigenous poets.
