about

"Romero's book is not so much a collection of poems as it is a narrative sequence, a body of related pieces which follow the title character from birth to the brink of death. Celso is Everyman, his roles ranging from shabby Christ figure to buffoon, drunkard, and ladies' man, alternately unkempt, lascivious, pathetic, witty-cruel, curious, and outrageous." -from the Arte Publico publication of CELSO.

The last part of Mr. Romero's reading was cut off by the tape. I recorded this at the Living Batch Bookstore in the 80's. lg
Celso, the poems, are published by Arte Publico press. Also available in the Internet Archive. Many thanks to Leo for allowing me to record his reading.
