The gorgeous black and white line art inside this hefty little book instantly caught my eye. These linocut drawings were not the regular loter??a images. They were modern adaptations, made with painstaking detail (think of a turn-of-the-millenium, wired Posada) and showing a distinctive sense of humor and pathos. The poetry, commissioned especially for the drawings, also showed a fresh and modern take on the icons of Mexicanismo and Chicanismo."???Frontera MagazineTable of Contents IntroductionThe LotteryThe HunchbackThe ArmadilloDeathThe FlyThe BellThe HorseThe PressThe SmokersThe PearThe GuitarThe Little SaintThe RoosterThe BicycleThe ArchangelThe Palm TreeThe HermitThe BatThe WitchThe FriendsThe CactusGodThe HandThe FruitThe PigThe GluttonThe FlightThe OstrichThe FallThe VirginThe TreeThe StarThe BottleThe DrunkardsThe ScorpionCornFireThe ClownVengeanceThe Prodigal SonThe SoldierThe HunterThe MermaidThe LionThe WrestlerThe WetbackThe Immigration OfficerFeetThe RailroadThe LadderThe SerpentThe DancerThe ScissorsEveAdamThe PlagueHellThe GiantThe MusiciansThe PoetThe DevilThe GoatThe VictimThe FlagThe CanoeThe CircusThe CamelBad GovernmentSadnessThe SunThe FishThe WoundThe ChairThe WorkerThe AirplaneThe TrapThe HeartThe SwordThe CometThe BeggarsThe CatThe HorsemanThe CowThe MagicianTortureThe Absent OneThe CrabHeavenThe LizardThe SandalsThe KnifeThe HenThe Inspired OneThe DeerThe ZapatistaThe DogThe Old ManThe MonkeyThe Hanged OneThe EagleThe BathThe Guardian AngelThe WorldThe Rose
