Still Desert

By Daniel Elias Galicia

Book Overview

Finalist for the 2023 Button Poetry Chapbook Prize, Daniel Elias Galicia's debut collection, Still Desert sings with histories both haunting and enchanting. Artistically and linguistically dynamic, Galicia's poems weave personal and historical narratives of immigration, assimilation, and Mexican heritage. Still Desert lingers in the spaces between borders and crossings, breathing in rich, tactile environments and raw, complex emotions. With a musical rage and a sacred love, Galicia speaks to unsung lineages and the violences found before, during, and after crossing the border.
