Book Synopsis

Tomás Morín''s poems are as infectious and spooky and darkly humorous as the Brothers Grimm, as shapely and colloquial and eloquent as John Donne, and as skeptical and addicted to history-as-fable as Zbigniew Herbert.—Tom Sleigh, from the introduction

An energetic and moving book of fantasias and elegies.—Edward Hirsch

Selected from over one thousand manuscripts for the APR/Honickman First Book Prize, Tomás Q. Morín''s debut is rich with the mastery of Morín''s lush storytelling. From war-torn images of Eastern Europe in the mid-1900s to modern-day glimpses of the American southwest, these poems are bold and brightly imagined.

From Castrato:

What do you call a gifted soprano
with no balls who is too ugly
to play the heroine, is never tall enough
for the role of the hero? Wait a quarter century
and you can fast forward past the floggings,
the endless sermons, the giggles under alders
