Poetry / Help on "Public school 190,Brooklyn 1963" by Espada [8]
Hello again,
I understand that this poem is autobiographical; he basically recalls what he remembers from his school experience on that day when Kennedy was shot in 1963. Espada was only 6 years old when that happened. He was living in a Latin American community in Brooklyn,NY.
I'm still having a hard time understanding the exact themes though...
