New American Folk Lore offers a uniquely optimistic perspective on what it means to be an immigrant in the U.S. -- to gain and lose, forget and remember. Through the timeless and imaginative style of folklore and fairytales, Ygor Noblott blends poetry and flash fiction and manages to capture a profound array of immigrant conditions: a leaf leaves his home to go on adventures; a young boy who processes the world through scary movies finds that the most terrifying monsters live in his neighborhood; it has rained for fifteen years in the town of Dolores until a stranger decides to help by going to the place where the rain was born; in a trailer park, a wife tells her husband that the Virgin Mary appeared to her in a cup of coffee. Fables. Myths. Legends. Fairy tales. This little chapbook contains the depth of an entire collection and yet remains humble and clear in its depictions of the human condition. In very few words, this collection of poems will make you smile, cry, and reminisce -- reminding us all that in one way or another, we are all pilgrims in this world.
