Description: "The Abuela Stories Project intends to highlight the essence of Abuelas, their guidance, distinctive personalities, and detriments through original works of poetry, prose and photography. Award winning poet Peggy Robles- Alvarado partnered with Bronx based visual artist and photographer Daisy Arroyo to capture Abuelas as artists, dancers, drummers, and rebels redefining themselves. These images served as inspiration to a group of women writers who created passionate and sometimes painful original works that tell of Abuelas and the lives they have touched. The Abuela Stories Project is bringing distinct Abuelas out of the kitchen, from past memory into present day spotlight, to take an intimate look at the lessons they offer new generations."--Back cover
