"As a poet, editor, and community activist, I'm
honored to support the work of Maria Esther Ortiz and the
Matanzas poets and artists. This the beginning of a powerful
cultural exchange between writers and artists in Los Angeles
and those in Matanzas -- de un barrio a otro. Together, as
struggling artists of conscience and witness, we can positively
impact the growth and integralness of the arts for everyone."
--Luis
J. Rodriguez, author of "Always Running:
La Vida Loca, Gang Days in LA."
