In the Walt Whitman's and Federico García Lorca's tradition of celebratory poems to New York City, ÑUÓRK! is a poetry book that celebrates the city of New York and its people. In it, the city, addressed by the poet-narrator, is in itself a language construction, the clash of English and Spanish embodied in the Latin American immigrant experience, as well as the intermingling of the literary heritages of both languages, from Rubén Darío and José Kozer to William Carlos Williams and Susan Howe, among others.
