In a society that would rather disappear or ignore its own grittier dimensions, Salazar's work is both a refusal to be silenced and a love letter to the communities that sing, dance, live, and love, in their own beautiful and dangerous ways. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlongside Salazar's powerful visual narrative, a series of poetry by José Olivarez appears throughout the book. Each poem \"speaks\" in its own way--to, of, with, and beyond the subjects of Salazar's photos--with humor, honesty, and compassion.
