Café Notes is a carefully curated collection in which tone and theme, two key elements and foundations of any focused and solid work of art, synchronize to offer readers an elixir from the first to the last page. The poems are characterized, enhanced and woven together by strings of symbols and metaphors around tea, coffee, cups, heat, fire, the kitchen etc. The language of poetry greets the reader instantly and gets one thinking and savoring because of its metaphorical depth and dynamism. In some instance tea/coffee consumption takes a metonymic dimension. It becomes a mirror through which one looks into self and one’s environment. It becomes more than a drink, a means and source of entertainment and a pastime, but a piece of theatre where life and its dimensions and dynamics are on stage; like likening Iced Tea with a bride, then everyone and finally heroes. Another time, through creative mischievousness lemonade takes a swipe at tea. Through a variety of messages around Café settings, the poet successfully enables the reader to walk and explore relatable issues and images with the narrator. The poet proposes the essence of coffee and later ends by saying it cannot be explained because everyone has their scripts. In the ending analysis tea comes into conflict with poetry, is adjudged guilty, but then saved by poetry through a sweetened piece of poetic paper bearing milk and honey.

Celebrating both the rebozo as a cultural icon of Mexico and the series of rebozo-inspired paintings by Mexican-Californian artist Catalina Gárate, this bilingual collection of poems gives voices of strength, endurance, joy, and sorrow to the women of Gárate's paintings. The rebozo is considered a physical manifestation of Mexican womanhood throughout every stage of life and can be used as a tool of daily labor: a sling to carry children, a shield from weather or from prying eyes, an heirloom, and even a shroud. Inspired by each painting, these poems, in both Spanish and English, are accompanied by a historical explanation of the role of the rebozo in Mexican history, art, and culture.

English is not the native language of the author, Miguel Estrada. Reason why he felt the need to write in simple, easy reading, English language, this mix of fiction / non-fiction, romantic, adventurous, book/novel. He bases the fiction part of his book in one of his many love songs hes written. Besides adding a little humor, he also explores how abandonment can sometimes haunt even the most successful among us. In the non-fiction part, he likes to share with the world all the struggles and adversities he endured growing up as a multi racial child in a small village of the Atlantic Coast of his native Panama, in Central America. And all the difficulties he went through as he hitchhiked his way from his country to The U.S, not knowing for sure where he was going, let alone the English language. He also speaks of the government corruption that goes on in his country and many other third world countries. Which compelled him to leave home in search of a better life for him and his family. He also emphasizes a great deal of gratitude, throughout his book. But most of all, he emphasizes gratitude through the whole book.
