Praise for Tomás Morín's Machete:
“[Morín’s] writing cuts to the core with electrifying force . . . A promising and powerful new voice in American poetry, the Texas native arrives with a revealing anthology about suffering, self-identity, and the trivial occasions that tie one’s existence together . . . If you’re not a big fan of poetry, Machete will make you one.” —Nicholas Addison Thomas, The Free Lance-Star
“Wonderfully intimate . . . Machete's overarching themes spark and crackle throughout . . . [and highlight] Morín’s versatility as a poet who fuses both content and form . . . I would rush out to buy a copy of Machete just to have a poem like ‘Two Dolphins’ on hand. Not only was I captivated by the sheer beauty and dexterity of the poem but I was struck by how rare it is to come across poems about fatherhood.” —Julie Poole, Texas Observer
“Perceptive . . . Asks readers to go beyond seeing the world at face value, offering vivid descriptions and cutting political critique . . . Playful and piercing, this impressive collection demonstrates a radical kind of empathy.” —Publishers Weekly
