Canadian Panorama, poetry by Jose Tlatelpas

A selection from the e-book and audiobook, as published by the poet José Tlatelpas in 1991. In this book the Mexican writer, resident of Canada, writes about the Mexican American, Chicano workers, the wet backs, the Native peoples, First Nations (Pueblos Originarios) and the Afroamericans in Mexico, USA and Canada. He also remember in his poems many of his heroes, among them: Jerónimo, Zapata, Langston Hughes, Malcom X, Lone Wolf, Outerbridge, Bobby Sands, Patrick Henry, José Martí; Victor Hugo, Sandino, Mayakovski, Víctor Jara, etc. These are poems of love, sensuality and political insight where massacres such as Tlatelolco (Mexico, 1968) and Chinese Tienanmen (1989) are all mixed in a panorama of powerful poetry. The artwork presented here was made by the poet in 2000. And this edition was provided by the Canadian Hispanic cultural webzine "La Guirnalda Polar"
