Stray Poems opens with San Francisco Poet Laureate Alejandro Murguía’s inaugural address, where he provides a brilliant and impassioned poetic account of San Francisco’s Native and Latino literary history. What follows is a selection of Murguía’s most recent work, composed over the past twelve years. These are poems of the twenty-first century, written in a combination of English and Spanish–the patois of contemporary America. Angry, rebellious, subversive, sentimental, hip, urban, local, global.
