Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry. LGBTQIA Studies. Vianney Casas's debut poetry chapbook GIRASOL ushers readers into a sensuous, menacing landscape where physical, emotional, and spiritual boundaries dissolve and reform in unexpected, profound ways. With minimal punctuation, shifts in tense, and deft weaving of English and Spanish, GIRASOL creates a dream-like quality, suspending the reader inside a trauma that's simultaneously in the past and ever-present.
