PATRILINEATION by Carlos Andrés Gómez (Bilingual poetry chapbook)
“From the first poem in Patrilineation, the stakes are high. The author invites us into an early memory, rooted in a tender and fragile part of the body, through a lens of loss: the eyelashes of a child. In these poems, we confront a truth: we live and breathe and move always vulnerable, always at the edge of or in the process of losing. How do we name our lineages, what we have inherited, and transmute the strength that comes from pain into a strength that, itself, multiples the transformational possibilities of love to others and the self? How do we name the political hypocrisies—all men are created equal—while knowing the threats all around you and holding your child, in all his beauty, in your arms? These poems engage questions, guide us into reflection, and agitate us towards action, change, and love.”
Winner of the Alta California Chapbook Prize (selected by Raina León).
Patrilineation is available through Gunpowder Press.
FRACTURES by Carlos Andrés Gómez (Full-length poetry collection)
“Fractures teaches us the past is always inflecting the present. In poems as charged as they are exquisitely made, Gómez offers us the chance to appreciate searching for ‘the exact day / [he] stopped dreaming in the language / that sings [his] name.’ But its true gift, its true power, is the way it transforms loss and sadness into something triumphant.”
