✨ Review ✨ Promises of Gold by José Olivarez
"My people I am poly with the tortillas”
This is one of my favorite poetry collections I've ever read. Bringing together love, family, friendship, and food together with topics of capitalism, migration, colonization, and so much more, Olivarez creates a masterful collection -- one that I was dying to share with friends as I read.
It speaks to some many experiences of the moment, and I loved his poems about tortillas (see the quote above), as well as what we've loved and lost through quarantine and systemic racism in the U.S. This beautiful collection is one that I'll surely be drawing from in class and gifting to friends.
I'm HERE for anything he writes now and forever!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Genre: poetry
Pub Date: 07 Feb 2023

Thanks to Henry Holt and Co. and #netgalley for an advanced e-copy of this book!
