The New York City Subway Poems / Poemas del Metro de Nueva York, Paperback/Carlos Aguasaco

Poetry. Latinx Studies. Translated by Carol O'Flynn and Pilar Gonzalez. The poetic language of Carlos Aguasaco is familiar, fluid, and thoughtful. His work is founded on several sensible, personal myths: some declared and others hidden with great discretion and skill. His poetry reveals him as a wounded, yet defiant poet, master of a layered tongue, far from conventional or traditional styles.--Ahmad Alshahawy
