[David · Rating 4 out of 5]

Last year, Slough Press released the first book of poetry from Gabriel Sánchez. The Fluid Chicano is an exploration of place and identity along the Río Grande. It’s a passionate, lively debut that reflects deeply on heritage and the renewal of the self. Stand-outs include “The Wall Is Coming Down,” a rousing call to action; “I Am the Bridge,” in which Sánchez clearly situates himself in a nepantla or ideological frontier not only between American and Mexican, but between Chicano and “born-anew Chicano,” transcending even the strictures of revolutionary identity to encompass all worlds.
