Estaban Rodriguez's In Bloom is an exquisite array of lyrical poetry. The title poem, for example, takes us through a catalogue of images, beautifully phrased, of family members who lent themselves to a pendulum of trumpets, / accordians, drums, guitars, and lyrics that taught us Spanish and solitariness, the disenchantment. Yet, a song / we knew would suddenly come on, give us every reason / to bob our heads, sing along even if we didn't understand the message. Rodriguez can take us to Gomorrah and Golgotha, and lead us to a prayer that says praise be . . . luck--regardless / of circumstances, conditions--was something / that could always be repeated.
