A collection of poetry and short stories about a young Chicano's pursuit of love in South Texas. An accompaniment to the EP by Idyll Green.
My Review:
Rating: 3/5 stars.
I'm so happy to have won this collection of poetry in a Giveaway on Rene's Instagram page (@hacienda_tx). Thank you Rene for sending me a signed copy! I really loved the three short stories that were the main structure of each chapter and helped me to understand what the poetry was focused on. They took us on a journey that progressed with each story which I really enjoyed. I feel like the poetry could use some work as it felt a little confusing at points and didn't flow as well as it could. There weren't many concrete images and quite a few mistakes with tenses. It was a very quick read with good short stories but the poetry let it down for me. Amy x
