Winner of the 2019 GLCA New Writers Award An NPR Best Book of 2018
In this highly lyrical, imagistic debut, Marcelo Hernandez Castillo
creates a nuanced narrative of life before, during, and after
crossing the US/Mexico border. These poems explore the emotional
fallout of immigration, the illusion of the American dream via the
fallacy of the nuclear family, the latent anxieties of living in a
queer brown undocumented body within a heteronormative marriage,
and the ongoing search for belonging. Finding solace in the
resignation to sheer possibility, these poems challenge us to
question the potential ways in which two people can interact, love,
give birth, and mourn—sometimes all at once.
