David Shook is a poet, translator, and filmmaker whose work delves into the fragility of language and culture. His early studies in endangered languages and poetry at prestigious universities shaped his unique perspective. Currently based in Los Angeles, he dedicates himself to editorial work and publishing literary productions that give voice to underrepresented perspectives. Shook's creations serve as a bridge between seemingly disparate worlds, enriching our understanding of literature and the human experience.
The TEMAS workbook/lab manual closely follows the organization of the main text to provide additional reading, writing, listening and pronunciation practice outside of class. An Autoexamen at the end of each chapter allows students to check their own mastery chapter vocabulary, grammar and cultural concepts, as preparation for formal in-class testing.
