Latin American Poetry Introduction
A poem to begin
Read this newly written poem. It is an imagined speaker’s reflection, not a traditional poem or a representation of every Latin American experience. AT THE CROSSING At the bus stop, dusk unbuttons the sky; a radio threads a bright note through the rain. My grandmother’s words ride beside me, though the city spells them differently. The avenue carries many names— some spoken, some folded into silence. I keep one warm syllable in my pocket and offer it to the night like bread. At home, the window holds two lights: one from the street, one from the kitchen. Between them, my voice finds its way.
