Autobiography of So-and-So: Poems in Prose

by Maurice Kilwein Guevara

Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. "With a magical naturalism that refuses to separate the local from the global, Maurice Kilwein Guevara's AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF SO-AND-SO: POEMS IN PROSE holds our eye close to the Western wound: where cultures mix only by bleeding into each other. These prose chronicles reconfigure fixed assumptions about self and enter a threshold past which facts are as haunted as nightmares and consensual reality has become a waking dream" - William Olsen.

I'm very thankful this man was my teacher. A very dedicated professor, who enjoyed spectacle. His poetry rings with savage colors.

Good study of what makes something "poetry," since they make those imaginative leaps in prose poetry form.

This read like warm soup and cool mountain air
