Question

Read the excerpt from "Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry."

road of liberation, a road which should be accessible to everyone. No one has the right to keep you from
reading, and yet that is what is happening in many areas in this country today. There are those who think they
know best what we should read. These censors are at work in all areas of our daily lives.
