Emergency Tacos is a collection of poetry from the Hispanic community in Chicago. Included are Beatriz Badikan, Sandra Cisneros, Carlos Cortez, Carlos Cumpian and several others. This collection details the Latin-American experience with poems about topics as divergent as cultural identity and mundane everyday struggles.

"... voice of a Mexicana, Chicana, Latina and Americana, a culturally transplanted soul whose word portraits vividly color her childhood, family friends and enemies on both sides of the Mexican-United States border."

A bilingual collection of poetry dealing with the city of Chicago, otherness, the Hispanic experience, sexuality and what it means to be American. It includes five sections considering everything from the role of Chicago as a seat for musical expression to the inevitability of death.

The drawings, essays and poems in this book are all written by children and young adults living in the inner-city housing projects of Chicago during the 1990s.

(Abstract courtesy of seventenbishop.com) Art is not created by the satisfied. The satisfied look out on the morning and accept the world as it is thus negating the desire for judgement. Like a sniper at a turd parade Daniel Joshua Nagelberg has the ills of his world in the crosshairs. Part scrutiny, part reticence, part fable, part rant, "Man Falling Backwards Down Stairs" is an outstanding exposition of a dissatisfied urban life. Daniel Joshua Nagelberg is at an imaginary bar with Bukowski on one side and Algren on the other quietly observing the rest of the villians have their way with each other. In the present climate of suspicion and fear, "Man Falling Backwards Down Stairs" is a welcome window of honest dynamic emotions. Much like Rumi's treaties of lust, debauchery and understanding through intoxication Daniel Joshua Nagelberg's visions of a wicked world gone wild are engaging, startling and often terrifying in their familiarity.
