I started this collection a long time ago. It is a short, but dense collection that requires patience, a Spanish-English dictionary, and multiple readings. Many of these poems have been published elsewhere, but come together in a nice collection. It's fitting that I finished this book on Morher's Day and read "Ruth" a poem dedicated and about his ailing mother. As someone new to poetry, I'll need to revisit this after some time and space.
