Crying My Best is a powerful poetry debut that brims with emotional urgency and that delves into the complex, often hidden histories of the poet's Midwestern Mexican American family. With unflinching honesty and clarity, these poems confront intergenerational addiction, cultural estrangement, and personal and collective grief. Here, language makes survival possible and becomes a turning point for transformation and a hard-won sense of wonder. VersoFrontera, No. 2 Selected by Octavio Quintanilla
