Love Revolution presents a collection of poems by Robert Tinajero. Divided into five sections (three major and two smaller), Tinajero's verses explore a wide range of topics, situations, and emotions, particularly focusing on various types of love.
Some excerpts from poems:
this is my apology poem
God
i'm sorry for having written so many poems
and so few praising you
the love-armies assembled
but i did not enlist
i'm tired of soft poems today
i want my words to
jump up and stab a racist cop
put on gloves
sweat and bruise and bleed
help a migrant pick a thorny crop
so what kind of bullets are you putting in your gun
america?
if i'm hanging around
the wrong ol' town
i'm a spic
BR> can i be american?
i'm trying to put into words
the poetry that drips from your body
may God bless me
with my own
nancy Reagan
maybe everywhere
is in the middle of nowhere
what street
will be the last one
my casket rolls through
pero la realidad es
el amor no es únicamente la belleza
los eróticos fuegos en los cielos estrellados de Neruda
qué sabía yo
de la viscosidad del amor?
