A review by mariannemersereau
We Had Our Reasons by Ricardo Ruiz

5.0

Fans of narrative poetry will especially enjoy this powerfully written collaborative collection of poems about the achievements and struggles of the Mexican migrant workers and their families. I had the pleasure of meeting Ricardo Ruiz at the National Conference of the Association of Writers and Writing Programs (AWP) held in Seattle in 2023 and highly recommend this book. All of the poems are written in both English and Spanish.
