"Por nuestra cultura hablarán nuestros libros. Our books shall speak for our culture."
Everything We Think We Hear. By José Ángel Araguz. Leyla Namazie, Editor. ISBN 978-1518644917. $9.95.
Everything We Think We Hear is a collection of prose poems and flash fictions in the tradition of the Latin American microcuento. At turns fabulistic and true to life, these short pieces tell stories about growing up in and out of South Texas and about the role family mythology has in relating to the world. Through experiences articulated via poetic prose, this collection presents [email protected] storytelling as a way to understand the universal through the personal.
What is the meaning beyond memory’s hauntings? How does one survive the multi-faceted self fashioned from such meanings? Poet José Ángel Araguz’ unflinching collection, Everything We Think We Hear, considers these questions from all angles and gives us answers as adamantine and brilliant as the prose poems he has fashioned in his questing.
