The majority of poetry readers wouldn't even get a chance to see this collection due to the difficultly of bookstores NOT carrying the VAST majority of Chicana/o poetry. The fact is Montoya's work sings if you're bilingual English and Spanish, otherwise, it is all CALO, and most folks won't get that as well. Jose Montoya is an American original, que viva el carnal en Califas. Chicano lit is ment for the America of 2050 when there will be (if there is an earth) mas bilingual.

Richard Montoya (for the curious) is the actor who played Jack Black's wrestling buddy in the movie NACHO LIBRE. But his best work is with CULTURE CLASH, which pokes fun at everything from politics to Chicano culture. Their work is available in both video and print. That’s correct, esa.
