Luis Lopez-Maldonado's poetic debut is a complex collection of poemas and gay prayers. Contemporary themes are threaded through the work, offering a new perspective on traditional views on Catholicism, and verse poetry. Luis blends genders, sexes, races, classes, and verdades to create an over-satisfying fruit-smoothie intended to fill, over-fill, and spill. We hope you're hungry, because they open their heart and veins to the reader, slapping around whiteness vibes, racism, sexism, cannibalism, terrorism, immigrationism, displacementism, violencia silencio, abuso, violación, amor, sexo y sexualidad, entre mucho más. You will learn to pray. You will feel feelings. You will find yourself re-reading and re-reading, over and over again. Amen.
