An older collection from a local San Antonio poet that was republished in 2013. Many of the poems are inspired by Greek mythology (Catacalos has both Greek and Mexican heritage), and even the poems that aren't still have a bit of a myth-like feel to them. Ordinary people and situations are given outsized importance to entertaining effect. Lots to admire with the language here, but I didn't find most of the poems to be particularly moving.
Book #4 for #TheSealeyChallenge
