Mr. Flores is a creative and dynamic speaker who had our audience of high school students mesmerized. They were so excited that just before the last poem they asked if they could video him—so for the last poem we saw many cell phones pointed his way. After school I saw groups of students in the hall, huddled around a phone watching and re-watching the performance.
