Loteria is a traditional Mexican card game whose rules are similar to bingo, except that the announcer always improvises a short poem before calling out the name of the card that has been selected. It was introduced into Mexico in the 18th century and is still popular today. This book is a collection of exquisite and haunting linoleum-cut prints by the young Mexican artist Artemio Rodriguez paired with mysterious, seductive poems by Chicano poet Juan Felipe Herrera.
