Three Poems - "For The Blood Of A Poet, Octavio Paz"; "A Fiesta On The International Bridge"; "Esta Noche Bailamos"

Azahares is the University of Arkansas, Fort Smith's award-winning, Spanish-language literary magazine. The azahar, or orange blossoms, is "a flower of special meaning." Scherlen recounts three stories (as poems): his meeting with the great Octavio Paz, a visit to a remote electric-free village in Latin America, and being stranded in Mexico on the international bridge.
