Abstract
OUR LADY OF THE CROSSWORD is a sexy new chapbook from award-winning author Rigoberto Gonzalez, who casts his poetic eye to such varied subjects as word puzzles, Mexican TV in the 80s, can-can dancing, and other compelling encounters that shaped the political consciousness of his cultural heritage and sexuality.
This well- wrought collection gestures to Gonzalez's formal poetics and examines the complexities of a queer identity within the U.S., Mexico and on the rich border landscape that unites the two nations. Powerful and sensory, playful and erotic, these poems dazzle on the page with Gonzalez's characteristic fireworks. OUR LADY OF THE CROSSWORD is a saint for all those sinners looking for blessings, miracles, redemption and drag."
