Promises of Gold by José Olivarez

emotional reflective fast-paced

5.0

I first heard of José Olivarez on the NPR podcast Code Switch, and was so excited to see he had a collection coming out soon. I have never highlighted and hearted so many pages in a book of poetry. There is so much here about isolation, love, friendship, identity. I hope another collection is forthcoming. I will devour each and every one.
