Poetry. Latinx Studies. Translated by Carol O'Flynn and Pilar Gonzalez. The poetic language of Carlos Aguasaco is familiar, fluid, and thoughtful. His work is founded on several sensible, personal myths: some declared and others hidden with great discretion and skill. His poetry reveals him as a wounded, yet defiant poet, master of a layered tongue, far from conventional or traditional styles.--Ahmad Alshahawy
