Part of the bilingual Alta California Chapbook Series.


"This lyrical and well-crafted chapbook has the breadth and substance of a full-length collection. Focusing on the said and unsaid, in an imagistic and incantatory style, Fred Arroyo has written an honest yet tender examination of a father-son relationship. Steeped in the nature of his barrio, Arroyo's poems trace the borders of land and body to tell a story of family, exile, and belonging: "There are no boundaries / save the lines on maps. // There is no time / save the eye of memory."
