A meditation on southwestern terrains, intergenerational queer dynamics, and surveilled brown artists that crosses physical and conceptual borders.
What The Reviewers Say
The essays embody the complexities of identity: each one weaves multiple strands of narrative and arguments to touch on art, ethnic identity, sexuality, and class. Juxtapositions and abrupt shifts in focus bring variety into each piece, while also calling for attention to the interconnectedness of the self, land, and community.
While the text has a tendency to meander, readers who stick with it will fine a bold and brave debut collection from an intriguing new literary voice.
Gutierrez meditates on geography, gender, creativity, and love in her lyrical debut collection. She has a knack for writing about art.
