La lectura de estos poemas, va llevando al lector por la secuencia de emociones que surcaron y, aún surcan, la vida del autor. Como él expresa, es el recuento de una vida que transcurre como cualquier otra, pero las palabras no son suficientes para expresar la esencia misma de los sentimientos. Lo que hace atrayente a este poemario, es la diversidad de giros lingüísticos, acompañados de una profunda intensidad de expresión. Las distintas emociones, pronunciadas con sensible armonía, giran alrededor de un especial uso de la métrica y la rima, proyectando una aureola de lectura atractiva, la cual lleva al lector en ligero viaje literario, de suave musicalidad y profundidad expresiva.

When Nasario García was a boy in Ojo del Padre, a village in the Rio Puerco Valley northwest of Albuquerque, he grew up the way rural New Mexicans had for generations. His parents built their own adobe house, raised their own food, hauled their water from the river, and brought up their children to respect the old ways. In this account of his boyhood García writes unforgettably about his family’s village life, telling story after story, all of them true, and fascinating everyone interested in New Mexico history and culture.

Variations across Spanish are highlighted and varieties spoken by bilinguals are included. New concepts are clearly presented through a gradual progression from simpler to more complex concepts, with definitions of key terms highlighted in boxes. Recent theoretical developments are presented in a theory-neutral framework, offering students a balanced perspective.
