Alongside Salazar's powerful visual narrative, a series of poetry by José Olivarez appears throughout the book. Each poem "speaks" in its own way--to, of, with, and beyond the subjects of Salazar's photos--with humor, honesty, and compassion. These artists together in Por Siempre are a force: expanding and lifting each other's best parts, as those in sincere and caring communities often do.
