5.0 out of 5 stars
A moving work, April 3, 2004
This review is from: Ghost Sickness: A Book of Poems (Paperback)
The poems are approached and explored with different voices and forms, but they never feel like they are straying. This writing should not be missed. On a non-literary note, the wrap-around photo cover is an incredible match for what lies within. If you feel any of the "cultural" nuance of this picture, you will be touched by the words Luis Alberto Urrea has written.

Surreal journey of passage in the Southwest, September 23, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Ghost Sickness: A Book of Poems (Paperback)
I hate most poets, but I love out-of-whack word juxtapositioning and eerie language. This nugget of a book transported me into the movie "The Ballad of Gregorio Cortez" as it might have been directed by Luis Bunuel -- starring Neal Cassidy, and with additional dialogue by Jorge Luis Borges.
