1. The audiobook is a great way to experience this IF you speak Spanish.
2. I do not speak Spanish.
3. While I might have had a chance if could see the words on the page in front of me to translate, my auditory skills are rubbish.
I will leave this unrated because a good third of it, I literally did not understand. The English parts were great and I could really connect with the themes of grief and hurt.

I was looking for a poetry audiobook to listen to while I cleaned and happened to har about this author. Without looking into it much, I played it -- and I wound up stopping what I was doing just to listen to it! (I almost always need to multitask in order to listen to audiobooks!). This was beautiful and heartwrenching. I will definitely be looking into more of their poetry collections!
I will say, my Spanish is... more than rusty, so I really was mostly just able to understand the parts in English -- but that was more than enough to give it five stars.

another incredibly moving and formally sharp book from raquel salas rivera! this uses the visual implications of page space in a really necessary and inventive way.

My God — breathtaking, spare, full. Unlike anything I’ve read before. Upsetting. Brilliant. True.
