JAZZHOUSE, Wins the Award of Merit 2020 by The Philosophical Society of Texas for Best Book of Poetry by a Texas Author.
JazzHouse ~ compelling love songs to the intensity of everyday life; from the magic in the routine to the marvels and miraculousness of living. Edward Vidaurre takes us with him on his life trip, from East LA to the Rio Grande Valley and all the far reaching roots that accompany him in the form of ancestors, spirits, family, and other familiars. JAZzHOUSE is a base camp, and a life. We are invited in to share some food, some cafecito, or a glass of wine - to sit awhile and be grateful for every minute we are alive.

“Write with truth, conviction, kindness, and vulnerability. But never fear conflict writing, it's your revolution, it's what keeps you free.”

“Sometimes the barrio claims us, holds us by our feet like roots in its field of chalk outlines closed off by the screaming yellow tape being pulled from its soul.” — Edward Vidaurre
Vidaurre, a Californian of Salvadoran ancestry transplanted to the Texas borderlands, writes poems that are loving evocations of mystery and memory, waking up the heart and rallying hope.
