Book excerpt: What is special is the fact that the ideas, the themes, the poems in this anthology were nurtured, written in the darkness of the jails, behind the barbwire fences of the concentration camps, after fits of painful diseases or blows of torture...or occasionally, less miserable, on the fields or milpas, or somewhere else while they were working trying to make a living by doing all kinds of odd jobs: as a pedicab driver, a carpenter, a fisherman, a security guard, a tutor, a porter... Also, some poems were written during the later years in foreign lands where they had been accepted as refugees to "start a new life" or to "be exiled" in strange places, an ocean apart from their own homeland.
