Fearful of being found, they keep moving and ultimately find work as servants at the National Palace in Mexico City, where the French have recently taken control. There, the sisters fortunes become intertwined with that of the Empress Carlota. Both beautiful and extremely intelligent, she dedicates herself to the empire, chastising Napoleon when he refuses to send troops and antagonizing the Church by proposing that the empire secularize part of its holdings.

American Copia
An Immigrant Epic
Javier O. Huerta

This inventive combination of poetry, fiction and non-fiction in a mix of English and Spanish creates an epic story of immigration

oday Im going to the grocery store, begins this creative fusion of poetry, fiction and non-fiction. In this innovative work that uses grocery stores as a guiding motif, Javier O. Huerta deftly combines English and Spanish to explore his identity as an immigrant, naturalized citizen, son, brother, lover, graduate student. Through poetry written in Spanish, a short play, non-fiction passages and even text messages, Huerta looks beyond his own personal circumstances and delves into subjects such as consumerism and health foods available to a limited class of people. The diverse pieces and themes in American Copia pulsate with all that can be both communal and autonomous in everyday life. Though Huerta touches on serious subjects, many of the vignettes are offbeat and humorous. His is an original voice that articulates the immigrant perspective to create a thought-provoking look at the land of plenty. This is a must-read for anyone interested in experimental or Mexican-American literature. Praise for Some Clarifications y otros poemas:

Huertas book is timely, daring and a true testament of how an artist responds to the troubled times. His activism extends beyond verse, which is what a true citizen poet does. Harriet Blog from PoetryFoundation.org If youre in the mood for language that poses riddles of identity, that rides on the heat of its own melting, pick up a copy of [this book]. You wont be disappointed. Southwestern American Literature JAVIER O. HUERTA is the author of Some Clarifications y otros poemas (2007), recipient of the Chicano / Latino Literary Prize. His poems have been included in numerous anthologies and journals. A native of Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, he currently lives in Oakland, California, and is working on his doctorate in English at the University of California, Berkeley.

Fat No More
A Teenagers Victory over Obesity
Alberto Hidalgo-Robert
A timely memoir about a young adults battle with his weight

y life was a circus and a comedy show by the age of three months: I was already the size of a one-year-old! I was hairy with big cheeks, big legs, feet akin to tamales and hands like an overstuffed pita bread, writes twenty-year-old Alberto Hidalgo-Robert in this fascinating memoir about his lifelong struggle with obesity. The first grandchild born into his family in El Salvador, Alberto is showered with attention and gifts. Soon, though, he is known as El Gordito, or the little fat boy. By the age of seven, he weighed a whopping 120 pounds and his pediatrician had started him on a diet. By the time he was nine he had tried ten different diets. His life became a vicious cycle of eating to excess, sneaking food and lying to himself and his parents; he was the butt of practical jokes and teased by peers and strangers, ultimately turning into a recluse, addicted to food and television. From the low point of his descent into obesity hell, Hidalgo-Robert chronicles how he was able to take hold of his life, reinvent himself and become a model for other teenagers who are battling weight issues. A spirited tale of a young man who lost his way, this book offers a roadmap for living a healthy life and regaining self-respect and social acceptance. Each chapter contains battling tools, examples of both good and bad behavior and typical self-deceptions in the war to conquer oneself and live a healthier life. He even includes easy-to-make recipes for delicious foods that will appeal to any teenager. An absorbing account of one young persons attempts to deal with obesity, this cautionary tale is for anyone interested in this countrys leading health issue. ALBERTO HIDALGO-ROBERT studies biochemistry at Notre Dame de Namur University in Belmont, California. He is also the founder of an online anti-obesity campaign, Healthy Bert: No Child Left with a Big Behind Foundation. He lives with his family in Redwood City, California.
