PAPOLíTICO, Poems of a Political Puersuasion by Jesús Papoleto Meléndez
PAPOLíTICO, POEMS OF A POLITICAL PERSUASION is award-winning poet Jesús Papoleto Meléndez’ sixth book of poetry. Witty, wise, personal and political, Meléndez, often weary of the social issues and politics of the day, has created an exciting compilation of new and previously published poems in a collection that he has daringly named after himself to nudge people out of complacency. PAPOLíTICO is a poetic call for tolerance, reflection, reconciliation, and healing.

It was my long-time friend and collaborator, Bernardo Palombo, Argentinean<br />
composer <strong>of</strong> “Nova Trova” (protest lyrics in song), founder<br />
and Executive Director <strong>of</strong> El Taller Latino Americano, who expressed<br />
to me that much <strong>of</strong> my poetry seemed political in nature, and that I<br />
should consider titling a performance or other work, “PAPOLÍTICO.”<br />
Thanks, brother Bernardo.
