PoetrySparrow’s prison escapeIt reveals how ordinary people become monumental: family portraits, politically accused reports, and respect for Unsung. Espada’s focus lies in range from the shelling of Puerto Rican family homelands, from the anti-colonial uprisings against the murder of Mexican men by California police, the poet’s adolescent brawl, and from the poet’s adolescent brawl, which expresses his unsuccessful way of immigration as a lawyer for his unsuccessful immigration from martial baseball hero Roberto Clemente.

Martin Espada’s poem tells us:Look.
