Guillotine: Poems by Eduardo C. Corral
4.0
What beautiful and powerful poetry!! This collection of poems, focused primarily on the border crossings into the US and the people that are sucked into it's gravity, vividly explore the emotion, pain, and danger in these lives.
I need to re-read these again to really let the individual works sink in further. It's not a large collection, so I read it in one sitting without meaning to do so. But this was mostly due to the power of the collection's cohesion, tying each distinct poem together thematically and emotionally into a book that truly feels like one journey.
Excited to read more by Eduardo C. Corral. His writing is so vivid and speaks powerfully to human experiences.
