Hola,

I want to thank you and everyone else who replied to my e-mail.  I knew
of many of the books but not the Glenniden one and this book by Ruiz de
Alarcon I had no idea it was translated into English so thanks for that
very much.

A friend of mine, Francisco Alarcon wrote a lovely book called the Snake
Poems inspired by Ruiz de Alarcon's book and at the time I believe he
had to translate from Spanish.  In any event I appreciate all of the
suggestions.  If anyone else on the list has further suggestions please
e-mail me.

Odilia
