They came by the boat loads to find a better life in the 1930s, but found loneliness and despair during the depression and WWII years. Revering, Reminiscing, Recordando: Bilingual Muses of a Centenarian emotionally reflects through verse one woman's journey from a Puerto Rican small town to one of the largest cities in America, New York City. The Spanish poems particularly express her love for her homeland, while the English prose reflect her loneliness and lack of companionship to encountering hope through poetic solace and joy with the family she nurtured throughout her 100 years.
