Set in a Chicago neighborhood dominated by gang life, Saenz sets the sweetness and vulnerability of youth against the cold reality of a gun pressed against a forehead. Full of accelerative sound--tight rhymes and short, percussive lines--these poems follow a fast-paced trajectory from danger to survival, pausing to acknowledge the beauty and humor in the details along the way. 586 $a American Poetry Review / Honickman First Book Prize, 2018 655 7 $a Poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423828 650 0 $a Young men $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Neighborhoods $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Self-actualization (Psychology) $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Families $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Friendship $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Hispanic Americans $v Poetry. 700 1 $a Pardlo, Gregory, $e writer of introduction. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191122022748.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190103015940.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5AF12EECF79311E8BA923B1497128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
