5.0 out of 5 stars
fantastic,
By A Customer
This review is from: The First of the Nuyoricans: Sailing to Sanibel (Paperback)
Pacheco's poems are nothing short of amazing. Uniquely rich in their description, his poems range from hysterically funny to utterly touching. Each poem beautifully integrates meaning, depth, and rhythm, allowing any reader the most compelling experience. It's an unpretentious, beautiful work that I would recommend most highly to any lover of poetry or prose.

A Talented Nuyorican,
By A Customer
This review is from: The First of the Nuyoricans: Sailing to Sanibel (Paperback)
When I finished this book of poetry, I felt as though I personally knew Mr. Pacheco and his family, especially his abuelita.It is a funny, sad, poignant, painful and personal account of his life. I am not Latina; yet I could appreciate his feelings of pride and love and enjoyed his sharp sense of humor. As an educator, I would highly recommend this book for use in high school or college classes.

The Sailing to Sanibel section contrasts his life in retirement on Sanibel Island.I enjoyed this book immensely...more the second time than
