Reviews:
Marina notes that poet “Carlos Prellicer invited his readers to travel with his pen to Mexico’s fantastic landscapes.”
Dr. Aguirre affords the armchair traveler or cultural history enthusiast the opportunity to be very present with her while on a fascinating and intimate journey through her beloved Mexico.
The authoritative text seamlessly weaves together México’s historic past and vibrant, living present. On every page one feels the throbbing pulse of México and even by way of a virtual experience, Marina delivers a profoundly real one.
Filled with both contemporary and archival photos, the book brims with Dr. Aguirre’s gentle scholarship as well as her palpable joy in sharing a life dedicated to engendering cultural appreciation and understanding.
