Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Martin Espada is a Brooklyn-born professor at the University of Massachusetts who writes poetry in an attempt to humanize the abstract in life and “make the general specific and particular.” He writes about things he has experienced in life, such as the suffering he pens in his poem “Imagine the Angels of Bread.” Espada uses repetition via a contrast of realistic imagery and figurative language to pull the reader in and ensure empathy with his subject through his depictions of current and historical social injustices.
