Explore the Depths of 'Home' and 'Belonging' with Alejandro Jimenez
Dive into the pages of Alejandro Jimenez's debut collection, where poetry becomes a vessel for profound introspection, and the concept of 'home' is explored with depth, grace, and a keen understanding of the human soul. This collection is a celebration of the human spirit in all its complexities. Alejandro's poems are an ode to resilience, vulnerability, the remarkable journey of self-discovery, and the universal quest for belonging. THERE WILL DAYS, BROWN BOY invites readers to explore the emotional terrain where roots intertwine with the longing for a place to call one's own.
"Out of the gate, Alejandro Jim幯ez's poems emerge as protest, as song, as dance, as tenderness and as reclamation of body and place. 'Take my eyes, ' Alejandro writes. 'Sew them onto the sun.' These are poems that celebrate, chant, and ask, 'Why continue to fight if we do not celebrate our victories?' They do not flinch. They grieve. They remind us: 'No sorrow is everlasting' even when 'the warmth of someone's arms / will feel undeserving.' I am floored by this poet's quick wit, sharp turns, and ability to pay homage to the people and places that love us. THERE WILL BE DAYS, BROWN BOY is necessary reading, and we are lucky for Jim幯ez's voice." - Noor Hindi, author of Dear God. Dear Bones. Dear Yellow. Ruth Lilly and Dorothy Sargent Rosenberg Fellow.
"Memory is a tether. A sacred rope. And with THERE WILL BE DAYS, BROWN BOY, Alejandro has allowed memory to have a dance. And in so doing, he conjures and confesses and runs toward himself and a future that knows how to honor what is ahead by remembering what is behind."--Dominique Christina, 2x Women of the World Slam Champion, National Poetry Champion, National Poetry Series winner.
"THERE WILL BE DAYS, BROWN BOY is a collection of enveloping tenderness. Expansive both in language and image, but also in care. There's a warmth here that radiates beyond the page."--Hanif Abdurraqib, New York Times best-selling author and MacArthur Fellow
"In the necessary collection of poetry that is THERE WILL BE DAYS, BROWN BOY Alejandro Jim幯ez tells us that in each day, there will be room for poetry. Alejandro writes with tenderness and the precise language of a surgeon dissecting the human heart as he challenges institutions, traditions, and ourselves as we seek what gets lost in languages and migration. He has provided a canvas for anyone seeking to paint themselves into a home that looks like them and feels like what's been taken. The virtuous Jim幯ez invites Brown Boys and those of us who love them to rebuild, rejoice and reemerge in all our glory."--Yesika Salgado, author of Coraz鏮 published by Not A Cult
Poetry. Literary Nonfiction. Family & Relationships. Latinx Studies.
