Praised by Will Alexander, who writes that his \"condensed verbal scale\" seems to have \"sprung whole cloth from un-corrupted verbal ether,\" in these poems Jofré relishes his sexuality, explores the confines of gender, and embraces his status as a literal alien with alternating melancholy and amusement. Translated by Shook, whose own work Jofré has translated into Spanish, these poems take on a new life in English, \"euphoric from so much karaoke.\" Jofré's lyric rises like \"sugared vocables\" to the reader's ear and leaves you desperate for a nibble. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67390754357293,"sku":"WHS-ae6c18c493ec41aeb8aa43da9ef78b87","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_eb5971a0-3020-4b38-925b-2f20ce097526.jpg?v=1787346755","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/street-by-street-1","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
