The poems interpreted in La Osa Menor
by his youngest daughter Isabel Quintero with partner

Ten of these rediscovered poems appear on La Osa Menor,
along with Dime Pronto Mujer, a song the poet wrote and composed for his wife.
Isabel Quintero is a bilingual stage, film, television and voice actor. Gonzalo Córdova is a Latin American singer and guitarist. Both are currently based in Chicago.
