“…a start to finish masterpiece that aims simultaneously for the head and the heart and never misses either.”
“Gómez is a special talent for the way he bends lived experiences into sublime poetry.
Sometimes poetry features unforgettable lines. Sometimes a collection has an unforgettable poem. But Hijito stands apart because it has both unforgettable lines and one of the best individual poems I’ve ever encountered.
Belying any reduction, Hijito stands tall, unmatched, is a shore on which I would crash and crash again. To be devastated only to be reminded how to float in the next breath.”

Dang—1st review of “Hijito.” Can’t adequately put into words how grateful I am to Michael Prihoda for saying all of this about my book. Thank you, After The Pause, for publishing this stunning review.
