Man, this was an emotional rollecoaster. My heart broke while reading this and this was the first time I've ever read anything by Abraham.

Thank you netgalley for this ARC and I will definitely be checking over this author in the future

Buen poemario, algunas imagenes me descolocaron un poco ya que en la edicion que me brindaron,estaban desfazadas y no tenian contexto al poema que se presentaba...
Mas allá de eso, creo que la prosa esta muy bien lograda y, aunque es corto, logra ahondar en los temas que trata. Es un poemario bastante crudo.

This is a collection of modern poetry in which Rodriguez shares his thoughts and experiences through free verses.
I must be honest, it's not my favorite style of poetry but the topics were deep and you could perceive the author's pain from beginning to end.
He once said that the best advice he ever received was "Be how you feel. Feel what you feel". I'm glad he got to express himself, to be so vulnerable through this collection and make something positive out of the darkness.

'I realized a memory doesn't have to be a bad thing.'

The photographs included are quite nice and go with the poems. While I think the author has been through a terrible experience, as poetry this doesn’t entirely work for me, and he, once again, sounds like every other modern poet.

Thank you NetGalley for the chance to read and review this book.

this was very powerful and you could feel the hurt and pain the author went through on every single page. I feel like the author put his entire soul on the pages of this book of poetry and i don’t feel it is fair to his truth to rate if any lower than 5 stars.

A beautiful collection of poetry that will resonate with many. Easy to navigate and appreciate the complexities of life of this person who is speaking to the reader. It covers many topics some which may be triggering. A collection many would enjoy.

Thank you NetGalley for giving me this ARC. I like it so much! 💗

This book of poems tells us a little about the not-so-easy life that actor Abraham Rodriguez has had. I honestly didn't think the poems were going to be so revealing, but wow, I really liked them a lot.

This was some of the best LGBTQ+ poetry I've read in a while
It was beautiful and heartbreaking and in the end comforting

unfortunately, does not read as poetry. i think if rodriquez wrote this as prose or even more hybridized, it would be more impactful, as he very clearly has important things to say about difficult topics. some of the photography was fairly decent.
