    “Book Descriptions: "This poet is unstoppable, adorably watchable, infectious, and funny, and deeply engaged with his world, and the worlds of the lives whirling around him. Distinct, singular, original voice, style and language. A joy to read." — Dorianne Laux, Pulitzer Prize Finalist in Poetry

    A GRITO CONTEST IN THE AFTERLIFE is the winner of the 2022 Catamaran Poetry Prize for West Coast Poets.

    This award-winning debut looks at a family of swindlers, low-rent mystics, and used car salesmen as they attempt to outrun the inevitable. Taking place over a century across Mexico, Texas, and Washington State, it blends the Latin-American folktale tradition with breakbeat poetics to deliver a fresh take on culture, death, and the joy to be had in joyless times.

    Available now at Catamaran Literary Reader.”
