Three Stories, One Narrative and Ten Poems

by Martin A. Ramos

Overview

While reading Carlos Baker's Hemingway, The Writer as Artist, I was surprised to discover that Hemingway did not initiate his career penning novels but wrote poetry and short stories instead. One of his earliest published works is titled Three Stories and Ten Poems. The title I found intriguing because it never occurred to me that I could compose a book of short stories and poetry, mixing genres, as it were.

What follows is a modest offering of both poetry and prose. Three ethnic stories concerning the humble people of Puerto Rico of a bygone age, a narrative in which I relate the origin of my hometown and ten published poems.
