Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. "Pablo Medina's poems belong to the real world even while they move across the borders of dreams and wild imagination. They sustain a tone that's both sophisticated and innocent, delivering fresh news of what it feels like to be alive and human. I love these poems for their music and vivid imagery. I love their clarity, whether evoking city or bull pasture or bedroom, or an interior landscape. I love following the poet's surprising thought, as he delves into the heart and the mind and the world" Joan Larkin."
