Casa / Efraín Caravantes / 2021

This short collection will slink through your consciousness with the meditative deftness of The Four Quartets. It’s wild to see Efra capture that energy in a taut and delicate Spanish whose surprising turns open up pockets in your mind and soul. The untitled poems all flow into one another, each one like a wave in a bigger ocean, and like an ocean, there’s a peace I find spending time with these poems and the way their beauty transforms massages the bitterness out of grief.   5/5
