OLDER FICTION
Cofer, Judith Ortiz

Call Me María

(2) YA When Papi moves back to the New York barrio, while Mami stays home in Puerto Rico, María must "decide between parents, languages, climates, futures." In prose, poems, and letters, María tells of her adjustment to life in the barrio. A poet, she weaves English, Spanish, and Spanglish together in verse and prose that is authentically adolescent.
