Even people who "never read poetry" hear it all around them—every time they listen to a song, in fact. Natalie Frontera is a young songwriter who spent part of her childhood in Puerto Rico. While she was in high school, she captured memories and images of her home in song. Listen to her sing about a place that means a lot to her, and try to imagine the places and events she describes.
In the words to her song, Frontera returns to Puerto Rico and explores what that place means to her. Listen to the song again, but this time read the lyrics as you listen.
"Puerto Rico" includes several lines written in Spanish rather than English. If you don't speak Spanish, click the text below to see an English translation of these lines.
