| The Half Turn invites readers into a lyrical world that moves the body as much as the mind. Lelito’s poems reward slow attention. They hover between moments of clarity and uncertainty. A reminder that asking "what is the poem about?" is asking the wr ...more | |
“I feel disconnected from the people who I know have not experienced the exposed nerves of a close loved one yanked by pliers from one's jaws. I am different from them now. They can’t know the festering wound staining my teeth red, can't know the taste of salt and iron in everything I eat.”

“I am a ghost town, my body still exists among the remnants and relics, but no one lives here anymore. The locals moved out with the post office. The shelves at the corner store stand as tombstones marking the prices of items
that once waited for hands to toss them in their basket. Spiders and the remains of their kills fill the fluorescent lights. The crows don’t even stop on the wires when they fly over.”

“I read about Queen Nzinga who ruled in Central Africa in the 16th century resisting the Portuguese. I read about her negotiating with the Dutch.

That was the kind of power I saw. and the story of our own royalty became for me a weapon.”
