Slow Lightning --by Eduardo C. Corral

Nonfiction / Poetry
96 pages
5 Stars

In the couple of weeks I have owned this book I have read it cover to cover twice. I have read many of the poems three and four times, and I sat with a Spanish dictionary and now have translated all the poems. (I can order a beer and a taco, and that’s about it.)

Lyrical, musical, magical realism, even not understanding all the words the first time through, the poems sang themselves off the page, grabbed me in their arms and danced me around the room. I eagerly await his next book.
