They Say That I Am Two

From 1985 to 1996, Marcos McPeek Villatoro lived in various Latino worlds, both in the United States and in Central America. A richly-hued tapestry of his life and the lives of the people around him emerges in the weave of his poetry from that decade. Poignant comic and planted deep in the rich soil of many languages and voices, his verse, both in English and Spanish, introduces the unique and singular voice of a man whose poetry resists the entrapment of borders.
