And Benjamin Garcia makes a stunning debut with Thrown in the Throat. In a sex-positive incantation that retextures what it is to write a queer life amidst troubled times, Garcia writes boldly of citizenship, family, and Adam Rippon's butt. Detailing a childhood spent undocumented, one speaker recalls nights when 'because we cannot sleep / we dream with open eyes.' Garcia delves with both English and Spanish into how one survives a country's long love affair with anti-immigrant cruelty. Rendering a family working to the very end to hold each other, he writes the kind of family you both survive and survive with. With language that arrives equal parts regal and raucous, Thrown in the Throat shines brilliant with sweat and an iridescent voice. 'Sometimes even a diamond was once alive' writes Garcia in a collection that National Poetry Series judge Kazim Ali says 'has deadly superpowers.' And indeed these poems arrive to our hands through touch-me- nots and the slight cruelty of mothers, through closets both real and metaphorical. These are poems complex, unabashed, and needed as survival. Garcia's debut is nothing less than exactly the ode our history and present and our future call for: brash and unmistakably alive. 588 0 Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on October 07, 2020). 650 0 Sexual minorities|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh2004003385|vPoetry.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99001678 650 7 Sexual minorities.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1202158 650 7 POETRY / American / Hispanic American.|2bisacsh 650 7 Poetry.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1067691 650 7 LGBTQ+ people.|2homoit|0https://homosaurus.org/v3/ homoit0000915 650 7 Sexual minorities.|2homoit|0https://homosaurus.org/v3/ homoit0001297 655 0 Electronic books. 655 7 Poetry.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423828 655 7 Poetry.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/ gf2014026481 776 08 |iPrint version:|aGarcia, Benjamin, 1987-|tThrown in the throat|bFirst edition.|dMinneapolis, Minnesota : Milkweed Editions, 2020.|z9781571315212|w(DLC) 2020017554 830 0 National poetry series.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n42000352 856 40 |zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
