--Maria Mazziotti Gillan, author of the American Book Award-winning All That Lies Between Us
Demonstrating a combination of traits that gives him a voice like no one else, Tony Medina's poems are funny, intense, and tragic, and sometimes make you laugh until you cry. There's a terrible beauty in this book, a sparse and haunting music that stays with you. These poems are brave, and true, and well worth returning to again and again.
--Leslie Heywood, author of Pretty Good for a Girl and The Proving Grounds
Tony Medina infuses his signature wordplay with a heightened aesthetic urgency in these bare-boned, tender laments for his parents, extended family, and humanity or lack thereof. The old folks/In front of/My father's/Building are/ Buildings that/have been/Abandoned - these poems are sober brutal truths as pavement for a long ill-tempered sprint with death. And life. --Quraysh Ali Lansana, author of They Shall Run: Harriet Tubman Poems
