As the Hispanic population in the United States increases and makes it presence felt in all facets of society, Carlson desired to pay homage to a new generation of Latinos who are helping to transform what it means to be a proud American. As in, Carlson includes the Spanish and English version of all the poems in this anthology. In the first book, I read the Spanish and English side by side to get a feel for how the words flowed from the pages. In Red Hot Salsa, I decided to either read the English first or just one language because I reasoned that as Hispanic culture is becoming more mainstream, more authors are choosing to use English as their first language. These newer generations are no longer writing of the immigrant experience, but of life as Americans, and many boast English as their first or dominant language, some children only speaking Spanish to their parents at home. Award winning author Oscar Hijuelos writes of this dichotomy in his introduction when he notes of a time that he went to the hospital for a minor surgery.

He left home speaking only Spanish and returned speaking English, much to the chagrin of his immigrant parents. Thus, I decided to mainly read this collection in English, choosing only to view the Spanish as a reference point.

Carlson has chosen to include the work of many of the same writers as in her first collection. Here can be found the work of Gina Valdes, Luis J. Rodriguez, and Gary Soto. Yet, Carlson also has included poetry written by a number of New York City public school children in this volume. In 'Invisible Boundaries,' Ivette Alvarez writes, 'I'm surrounded by a society that expects nothing of me other than to become a regular, tired housewife.I want to become someone important. I must overcome the invisible boundaries.' Likewise, in 'Life in the Barrio', Kizzilie Bonilla describes the dangers of growing up in el barrio and how she would one day like to make something more of herself and get out.
