culebra

by Roberto Harrison

Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. "In these strange, open-eyed, open- hearted, beautiful poems, there is nowhere to stand, or there is everywhere specific. I feel as if I am looking at Borges' sacred mutating representatives of every category—weather animals language pain geographies software—announce themselves, declare connectednesses I'd never have predicted. This journey, this snake moves through lived experience like breath from the underside of time."—Catherine Wagner
