Synopsis "Us "

This is a book of freeform poetry written in both, English and Spanish from the point of view of a man who, without formal education and from a small village in the State of Jalisco, México, emigrated to the United States along thousands of others in search of a better life. In plain, visual language, he tells stories about his youth, about his family and traditions, and the sharp contrast between two worlds. The sometimes crude reality of his poems describe his arrival, his progress not only on learning English without a schoolroom but also his start on the labor force including picking fruit in California, his mishaps and adventures, his progress fitting in and, finally, the way he sees his home country at this stage on his life. Este es un libro de poesía espontánea escrito en ambos, Inglés y Español, desde el punto de vista de un hombre quien, sin una educación formal y proveniente de un pequeño rancho en el Estado de Jalisco, México, emigró a los Estados Unidos como lo hicierom miles de otros en búsqueda de una vida mejor. En un lenguaje sencillo y visual, él cuenta historias de su juventud, de su familia y tradiciónes y el agudo contraste entre dos mundos. En una forma realista y algunas veces cruda, él describe en sus poemas su llegada, su progreso no solamente en aprender el Inglés sin un salón de clases pero también su comienzo en la fuerza laboral incluyendo la pizca de fruta en California, sus tropiezos y aventuras, su progreso de asimilación y, finalmente, la forma en que vé a su país natal hasta esta etapa de su vida.
