In his second collection of poems, we meet Félix Garmendía again after he has been settled in Washington Heights for years with his husband, Denis. There he bears witness to some of the most frightening occurrences of the last fifty years: the disinformation of an out-of-control administration, the explosion of racism, the pandemic, and the storming of the Capitol. Through it all, he — and the reader — find the grace and courage to laugh and find oases of hope.
