Description
"Toluca Street has the profundity and fierce intimacy of prose memoir...There is no more fallen a world than the unromanticized working-class neighborhoods of Los Angeles in the forties and fifties. I am moved by...the specifics of living among palms and bungalows and working 9-5 for the power company, all transformed by poetry into something like heirloom and portrait to be passed along."--Garrett Hongo
