In a society that would rather disappear or ignore its own grittier dimensions, Salazar's work is both a refusal to be silenced and a love letter to the communities that sing, dance, live, and love, in their own beautiful and dangerous ways. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlongside 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 \u003cem\u003ePor Siempre\u003c\/em\u003e are a force: expanding and lifting each other's best parts, as those in sincere and caring communities often do. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Haymarket Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/06\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781642598377\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120","brand":"Jos\u0026#233; Olivarez, Antonio Salazar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42439215612085,"sku":"9781642598377","price":25.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_1cb845bf-8cc6-4d3b-9a20-10d0ef4e5055.jpg?v=1665460452","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/por-siempre-9781642598377","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
