Art brings our clever inner selves to life!
In my
opinion, art is everything from the way we speak, dress, walk, to the way the clouds
are shaped.
Art means different things for everyone. So stop today by
La Casa Azul Bookstore, enjoy your new book of the week, and let the magic of
art transport you to the journey waiting to be explore.

Title: Mixturao and Other Poems
Author: TatoLaviera
Genre:
Poems (Bilingual –English and Spanish)
Synopsis:
“In the title
poem of TatoLaviera's fifth poetry collection, "Mixturao," he
celebrates the mix of diverse cultures and languages that make up America, and
challenges those who advocate a monolingual existence: "We who
integrate/urban America/simmering in each other's/slangs indigenous/nativizing
our tongues'/cruising accents/who are you, English, /telling me, 'Speak only
English/or die?'" Laviera deftly combines English and Spanish in this
poetic celebration of his own bilingual, bicultural existence and the ever-increasing
use of both languages in all fields, from music to technology…”
