Books by Virgil Suarez

Shimmering with saturated color and heat, this title features a sequence of memory poems about growing up in the tropics, threaded through the myth of Caliban from Shakespeare's "The Tempest". It gives entry to a place of blue possibility and daily undoing, where the sting of salt-fresh air is compounded by the ache of displacement and loss.

Poems That Explore Fatherhood, Parenting, and Separation Anxiety, and the Ways in Which Time and Memory are Both a Prison and a Giver of Joy.

In creating this collection Suarez creatively combines poems from six previous collections with unpublished ones to give compelling expression of what it means to live in exile.
