Written with humor and sincerity" ( Newsweek ). Named a Best Book of the Year by Newsweek and NPR. In this "devastating debut" ( Publishers Weekly ), poet Jos& eacute; Olivarez explores the stories, contradictions, joys, and sorrows that embody life in the spaces between Mexico and America. He paints vivid portraits of good kids, bad kids, families clinging to hope, life after the steel mills, gentrifying barrios, and everything in between. Drawing on the rich traditions of Latinx and Chicago writers like Sandra Cisneros and Gwendolyn Brooks, Olivarez creates a home out of life in the in-between. Combining wry humor with potent emotional force, Olivarez takes on complex issues of race, ethnicity, gender, class, and immigration using an everyday language that invites the reader in, with a unique voice that makes him a poet to watch. "The son of Mexican immigrants, Olivarez celebrates his Mexican-American identity and examines how those two sides conflict in a striking collection of poems." —USA Today 533 Electronic reproduction.|bNew York :|cHaymarket Books, |d2018.|nRequires OverDrive Read (file size: N/A KB) or Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 1323 KB) or Kobo app or compatible Kobo device (file size: N/A KB) or Amazon Kindle (file size: N/A KB). 650 7 Poetry.|2OverDrive 650 17 Fiction.|2OverDrive 655 7 Electronic books.|2local 776 1 |cOriginal|z9781608469543 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.overdrive.com/media/4397215 |zAvailable on OverDrive/Libby. 856 42 |3Excerpt|uhttps://samples.overdrive.com/?crid=319f4796- ce45-45a8-81a0-75ee9a56d5b3&.epub-sample.overdrive.com |zSample 856 42 |3Image|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/2363-1/ %7B319F4796-CE45-45A8-81A0-75EE9A56D5B3%7DImg100.jpg |zLarge cover image 856 42 |3Thumbnail|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/2363-1/ %7B319F4796-CE45-45A8-81A0-75EE9A56D5B3%7DImg200.jpg |zThumbnail cover image
