A beautiful and haunting collection of poetry reflecting on the border and what it means to be Latinx in America. Cody uses stunning and inventive physical representations that warp his work which add more layers than the words themselves. This includes blackout, dashed lines, sentences that flow down and across and every which way. It’s been months and I still think about what he wrote. An important read for anyone for a basis of understanding the history of lantinx treatment and how it is reflected today.
