"How many bad lovers have gotten poems? How many crushes? No disrespect to romantic love--but what about our friends ? Those homies who are there all along--cheering for us and reminding us that love is abundant."

In this groundbreaking collection of poems, Jos Olivarez explores every kind of love--self, brotherly,
romantic, familial, cultural. Grappling with the contradictions of the American Dream with unflinching
humanity, he lays bare the ways in which "love is complicated by forces larger than our hearts."

Whether readers enter this collection in English or via the Spanish translation by poet David Ruano, these
extraordinary poems are sure to become beloved for their illuminations of life--and love.

" Cuntas malas parejas han inspirado poemas? Cuntos crush es? Sin faltarle el respeto al amor romntico--pero qu hay de los amigos? Esos compas que estn ah todo el tiempo--animndonos y recordndonos que elamor es abundante".

En esta innovadora coleccin de poemas, Jos Olivarez explora cada tipo de amor--el propio, fraternal, romntico, familiar, cultural. Lidiando con las contradicciones del sueo americano, con una humanidad inquebrantable, deja al descubierto las maneras en que "el amor se va complicando por fuerzas ms grandes que nuestros corazones".

Ya sea que los lectores entren a esta coleccin en ingls o a partir de la traduccin al espaol del poeta David Ruano, estos extraordinarios poemas sern amados seguramente por sus iluminaciones sobre el amor y la vida.
