This remarkable collection of 100 short poems, presented in both English and Spanish, is testimony to Tipton's skill at reducing experiences and feelings to their essence. Over several decades he has developed a fine reputation for this. The poems, each only three lines long, are largely set in Mexico and Latin America and they are generally about the vagaries and vicissitudes of love-readers find them humorous, erotic, filled with life, tender, sardonic, frank, honest, and even spiritual. They often touch the heart.
