The inaugural Poet Laureate of Arizona and National Book Award finalist visits with his thirteenth book of poetry, which casts an intense desert light on the stories that unfold along the Mexico-US border.
In his thirteenth book, Alberto Ríos casts an intense desert light on the rich stories unfolding along the Mexico-US border. Peppered with Spanish and touches of magical realism, ordinary life and its simple props – morning showers, spilled birdseed, winter lemons – the book becomes an exploration of mortality and humanity, and the many possibilities of how lives might yet be lived.
