"Our book not only showcases familiar street corners, but brings them alive on the page with the visual storytelling of artist Bill Mohr. Mohr's attention to detail captures the heart and soul of the South Valley-the hum of everyday life, its proud business owners, glimpses of the little moments that make up our community. We chose to incorporate youth poets to showcase the new generation of poets alongside those whoh inspire us including Jimmy Santiago Baca, Luis Rodriguez and Mary Oliver. Like Mohr, these poets invite us to pay special attention to the often overlooked parts of life." taken from the Foreword by Cheyenne Anderson and Isa James
