“Carta de Iowa,” Arturo Ramirez. Nahuatzen Vol. 1 No. 2, May-June 1972.
This poem is a brutally honest wish to be whisked away to a place that feels like home. The LNACC was born, in part, from feelings like these.

“Carta de Iowa”
Arturo Ramirez
Solito
Solito
Solito
estoy
esperando…esperando
quevengasparaquemelleves
Adonde esta el sonido de mi raza
Estoy esperando
para que me lleves
a mi barrio que me lleves
a mi casa.
