Through a constellation of interweaving persona poems, confessional reflections, imagistic portraits of people and places, and decolonial poetic rituals--braided with a crown of sonnets--a choir of speakers navigate the fraught inheritance of memory frayed by the generational trauma of migration, coloniality, and the exploitative labor of late-stage capitalism. Swaying between maximalist and carnivalesque textual decadence and sparse, brutalist, bilingual inquiries into language as yet another exploitative and extractive tool for control, these poems honor familial and community wisdom as the only way to survive the steadily destabilizing Capitalocene.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNathan Xavier Osorio \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Last Town Before the Mojave\u003c\/i\u003e, selected by Oliver de la Paz for the Poetry Society of America's 2020 Chapbook Fellowship.
