Winner, 2017 CantoMundo Poetry Prize. Paraiso, the first book in
the new CantoMundo Poetry Series, which celebrates the work of
Latino/a poets writing in English, is a pilgrimage against sorrow.
Erupting from a mother's death, the poems follow the speaker as he
tries to survive his grief. Catholicism, family, good rum . . .
these help, but the real medicine happens when the speaker pushes
into the cloud forest alone. In a Costa Rica far away from touristy
beaches, we encounter bus trips over the cold mountains of the
dead, drug dealers with beautiful dogs, and witches with cell
phones. Science fuses with religion, witchcraft is joined with
technology, and eventually grief transforms into belief.
Throughout, Paraiso defies categorization, mixing its beautiful
sonnets with playful games and magic cures for the reader. In the
process, moments of pure life mingle with the aftermath of a death.
