Product Description

Henry Oosterveen, Jr., wrote this collection of eighty-three poems and shorts between 1998 and 2005. Some were written for an occasion such as a family reunion, the birth of a grandson, a sister's birthday, the passing of a friend or just to express a feeling, a thought - a memory. His poetry is a gift that came to him during his fifth decade of life. A few of the poems have been published in univeristy level literary journals and some in a previously published book of poetry - Simplemente Palabras I. We think that it is fitting to gather all his work together and publish it in another voulme to commemorate the beginning of his sixth decade.

Simplemente Palabras - Simply Superb
Simplemente Palabras is simply the best book of poetry in Spanish that I have ever read. Henry Oosterveen, Jr. grew up in San Antonio, Texas, and the words of his poetry call to mind his experiences as he came to be the man he is. A Mexican-American by birth, Henry describes the joy, the angst, the successes and the failures of a life that spans 60 years in the city that he loves. A great work of poetry written by a great spokesman for Mexican-Americans everywhere.
