Pobrecitos, a word meaning Poor Ones, is a collection of poems and illustrations about the poor of the world, whether they be poor in physical resources or lacking social or spiritual support. The writer is a retired psychologist who reflects on chance encounters and observations with street venders, visits to churches, coffee shop encounters and rides on trains in back-country regions throughout the world. The poems are illustrated by two young women who see the same dilemmas of the world with fresh eyes and clarity of youth. Survivors of war, neglect and depleted spirit are held up and honored in this poem-memoir collection. This is a book to ponder and a way to see beyond the surface of the world's problems in a unique way, offering hope and honesty for all of us to reflect on the poor, the pobrecitos, wherever they are and however they find themselves.
