<DIV><DIV><b>The collected poems of one of America&rsquo;s foremost balladeers of urban struggle and immigrant dreams</b></div><DIV><b>&#160;</b></div><DIV></div><DIV>Over his three-decade career as a poet, novelist, and memoirist, Luis J. Rodr&iacute;guez has earned acclaim for his remarkable ear for the voices of the city. <i>My Nature Is Hunger</i> represents the best of his lyrical work during his most prolific period as a poet, a time when he carefully documented the rarely heard voices of immigrants and the poor living on society&rsquo;s margins. For Rodr&iacute;guez&rsquo;s subjects, the city is all-consuming, devouring lives, hopes, and the dreams of its citizens even as it flourishes with possibility. &ldquo;Out of my severed body / the world has bloomed,&rdquo; and out of Rodr&iacute;guez&rsquo;s stirring vision, so has beauty.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>This ebook features an illustrated biography of Luis J. Rodr&iacute;guez including rare images from the author&rsquo;s personal collection.</div><DIV>&#160;</div></div>
