[A] brave and moving tribute to a brother gone astray; with skill,
unflinching honesty, and redemptive compassion, Cristina García tracks
his marvelous, complex, and errant life. . . . These poems are the
beautiful, painful, astonishing result of a journey to hell and back in
search of the brother she loves. With this first book of poems, García,
one of our best novelists and storytellers, proves herself to be a
talented poet as well.--Julia Alvarez, author of Saving the World
