"A traditional game of chance popular in Mexico and in Mexican American culture, Loterâia is poetically rendered in Esteban Rodrâiguez's eighth collection, with each poem revolving around one of the fifty-four cards. Using the image presented as a catalyst for exploration and self-reflection, Rodrâiguez unveils the familial journey between two countries and cultures through both a surreal and narrative lens. Here, a mother unearths a severed hand in the desert. A father discovers his heart among a heap of discarded items.
