If I understand what exactly is going on---First impressions, my lens, I was bias to the fact of American Women writing for the Mexican Men, and the American Women's poems are the ones whom are remembered and glorified, vs. the Mexicans' poems, whose were lost. That pretty much kicked the poems to a lower notch before I even read them. After reading them, still didn’t like them—nope, I wasn’t impressed. Though I can say I appreciate the fact of their being—if it really takes a white woman to ‘passionately’ write about a significant war that happened right next door of the borderline, in order for a thick skinned American to pay any never-mind—then so be it. I found myself confused with some of the poems, with their significance to the war, even after reading from the Wikipedia site. Although when I read one or two of the poems, I at least chuckled, the reason is the ridicules behaviors of the American community. It reminds me of a white American male standing on a street corner holding a picket sign that reads ‘these eyes see no color difference’ (the phrase it close to something like that)
Hey Pfouts, have you seen 'kiss of the spider women' it has Raul Julia guy in it from The Adam's Family, and William Hurt who was in 'Children of a Lesser God' well they're in Mexico, or South America, and there was a war going on I wonder if it happened ot be this one or another one, maybe made up, just curious
