CARLOS ANDRES GOMEZ’S new poetry collection Fracture (University of Winsconsin Press, £13), winner of the Felix Pollak prize in poetry is one of the most striking poetry books by a Latinx author being published this year.
It interrogates with devastating precision and clarity Latino men’s beliefs and histories, as well as the cultural heritage and dominant messaging about masculinity.
Gomez also explores the complex issues of race and gender, aspects of fatherhood, filial love and bilingualism within the Latinx community of New York.
