Red Hot Salsa Bilingual Poems on Being Young and Latino in the United States is an anthology of Latino poetry by such well regarded Latino poets as Gary Soto, Gina Valdés, Martín Espada, and Luis J. Rodríguez. In both Spanish and English, the poets speak movingly of themselves, how and where they live, their families, and their dreams for the future. ( )

Book of bilingual poems about being Latino in the United States written by Latino poets. Themes include language and identity, neighborhoods, love, family, and victory. Introduction is by Pulitzer prize-winning novelist Oscar Hijuelos. Library Journal recommends grades 8+ due to more mature sexual and violent themes in some of the poems. There is a large range in the topics and emotions evoked in this collection. I appreciated gaining a deeper understanding of what it's like to be a part of 2 cultures. ( )

A book of poems on the struggles of being latino in America. Very well done.

A collection of poems in both English and Spanish, translated both ways, about being a young Latino in America. All the different voices speaking in this book creates a picture of a world of Latino teens loving and struggling with their culture in the context of American society. With 37 poems, all with different themes, including Taco Bell, it's an engaging read for any teen. ( )

To be young and Latino. To be young and American. How do you keep your identity when you are torn between two or more cultures? As Raquel Valle Senties put it: “My heart has no room for two countries as [my heart] has no room for two lovers.”

These are the stories of Mexican and Latin American teens, trying to figure out who they are. Told from the mouths of 28 influential Latino and Mexican American poets, whose poems were especially picked in a struggle to portray every aspect of bilingual life. Poems appear in both English and Spanish. In her translations, Carlson fuses the romance and passion of the Spanish language with the candidness of English. The result is vibrant flow of words, colored by well-known Spanish phrases and cognates. The poems are centered around five themes: language and identity, home, love, family, and victory. The resounding idea is the freedom that comes from a sense of cultural belonging. ( )
