Yet Another Great Review - Of Aztecs and Conquistadors

The latest review of my poetry collection 'Of Aztecs and Conquistadors' is provided by U.S. author Thomas D Cooke. I have to admit to being delighted to hear what he thought of my work as Juan Pablo Jalisco.

Jalisco weaves a poignant and evocative tale of Mexico

Of Aztecs and Conquistadors by poet Juan Pablo Jalisco is an evocative and poignant mid twentieth century memory of Mexico as seen through the eyes of the author during his formative years. This read is for those who ask the questions, "Who am I, where did I come from and what made me who I am?" Questions not limited to poetry fans. This book is for everyone.
Topics range from Aztec history, dolphins, friends, a modernizing civilization, loss, iguanas seeking warmth, to the love of a young man for his lady. Jalisco snatches bits of life from street vendors, mystics, artists, and revolutionaries and weaves the entire ensemble into a slowly fading tapestry growing fainter in the mist of time. But the overriding radiance of Aztecs and Conquistadors is hope.
We interpret individual poems based on our own experiences, but the overall impact of Aztecs and Conquistadors is universal. When the last page is turned, there is a slow nod of the head and a quietly uttered, "Yes."
