I always enjoyed sharing My Father is A Simple Man with my Middle Schoolers in my 8th grade Language Arts class. He was fortunate to have you in his life. Thank you for the pictures, the drawing and your poem.Angelinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10596218857659506829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9367921.post-71570692248872820172014-02-14T00:04:13.517-07:002014-02-14T00:04:13.517-07:00I am originally from Sanger, California.

His family had a clothing store called C&S Clothing next to Tejerian's Men Clothing where I worked. We would chat with eachother in the front sidewalk. I knew he was a great poet and author. Not too many local people knew this at the time.Felixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08138079889028301782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9367921.post-19071448412363535292008-12-03T00:02:00.000-07:002008-12-03T00:02:00.000-07:00Karen's thoughtful, poetic, visual portrait is fit...Karen's thoughtful, poetic, visual portrait is fitting of one of the greatest Xicano poets that walked Aztlan. He seems to be lingering still, much like his poems, in this biting chill breeze that haunts us, like an Aztec Angel. He will be missed, especially by his cultural progeny, <BR/>el Fantasma en Santa Monica<BR/>y el Chicano Secret ServiceESernahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866790504145760277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9367921.post-16588820366396653672008-11-17T06:24:00.000-07:002008-11-17T06:24:00.000-07:00Karen (and Daniel), thank you for a warm tribute ...Karen (and Daniel), thank you for a warm tribute to a fine poet, Luis Omar Salinas. Salinas' work with Lillian Faderman, stands as one of the best anthologies of Chicana and Chicano writing of the 1970s. Karen, thank you for taking such good care for the spirit and well-being of an old man. Salinas didn't fall on his ass after all.<BR/><BR/>mvsmsedanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09527530005391318421noreply@blogger.com
