Description

In his award-winning Free Lunch and Punching Bag, Rex Ogle charted a coming of age marked by poverty and domestic violence. Here, in his debut poetry collection, he pays tribute to his abuela, the woman who gave him unconditional love throughout it all and the one adult he could count on when he was a child. From a first memory of hiding in a laundry hamper and squealing with delight when she found him; through collect calls, visits, and a trip to Mexico, where she was raised; school reports, driving lessons and a first car, to high school and graduation, Abuela, Don't Forget Me is a lyrical and life-affirming portrait of the promise of love and home, and of the devoted grandmother who provided it.
