Pedro Cabiya comes full circle, returning to his initial, preferred form in this his first book of poetry. Love, lust, bondage, cruelty and a deranged superhero star in these pages from one of the best known Caribbean authors. -- Evil Ministries Press "In Cabiya's poems, all thoughts are constructed from the real and the imagined and all thoughts must be written. The urgency seems to lie in the desperation to examine the self in its self-constructed (dis)order; to take a selfie in front of the universal mirror. As David Foster Wallace stated, "fiction, poetry, music, really deep serious sex, and, in various ways, religion -- these are the places where loneliness is countenanced, stared down, transfigured, treated." That self-inflicted solace, the presumed individuality that makes us all the same and completely unable to admit it is the fertile ground of Pedro Cabiya's fantasies." -- Jacqueline Lazu, DePaul University"
