Aztec Shell
by Aigla, Jorge
Released: 1995
In the Aztec Shell, Jorge H.-Aigla presents his humane vision of our world. Set in both Mexico and the United States, these poems reveal Aigla’s unique and sympathetic view of the human condition - a little boy dies after diving off a cliff to entertain tourists, a doctor finds cancer cells under a microscope and considers their effect on the patient, a five-year-old sells Chiclets on the street, because Aigla does not back away from difficult topics, his readers are allowed an unshielded vision of the world that leads to enlightenment.
