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.

In creating this collection Suarez creatively combines poems from six previous collections with unpublished ones to give compelling expression of what it means to live in exile.
