Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. LGBT Studies. OUR LADY OF THE CROSSWORD is a sexy new chapbook from award-winning author Rigoberto González, who casts his poetic eye to such varied subjects as word puzzles, Mexican TV in the 80s, can-can dancing, and other compelling encounters that shaped the political consciousness of his cultural heritage and sexuality.
This well- wrought collection gestures to González's formal poetics and examines the complexities of a queer identity within the U.S., México and on the rich border landscape that unites the two nations. Powerful and sensory, playful and erotic, these poems dazzle on the page with González's characteristic fireworks. OUR LADY OF THE CROSSWORD is a saint for all those sinners looking for blessings, miracles, redemption—and drag.
