Trade Review“La Belle Ajar, from CLASH Books, is superb, a flight into an ethereal sphere where Adrian Ernesto Cepeda's words dance and the sublime cadence of Adrian Ernesto's imagination keeps beat with the chorus of angels!”
— Jimmy Santiago Baca, winner of the Pushcart Prize, the American Book Award, and the International Hispanic Heritage Award, author of the memoir, A Place to Stand “Adrian Ernesto Cepeda’s sensual, electric internal rhythms provoke external, communal ones too. And La Belle Ajar is not just an exercise in homage but a choreographed remix, a translation, a correspondence between words and worlds. Cepeda leaves the door open, in pursuit of readerly access and inspiration. This work vibrates.” — Chris Campanioni, Editor PANK Magazine and author of The Internet is for Real
