New poetry from two-time Multicultural Poet of the Year, Frankie Soto. Frankie Soto's title; PETRICHOR, refers to the scent of earth rising from the first kiss of rain after a long dry spell. An apt title for this collection, which offers a similar experience of satiated thirsts and earthy moments that bind us to our roots. Soto's unique voice and keen eye offer a sweeping portrayal of life. Soto speaks of the Latino experience in America, of defining his own manhood, raising children, holding fast to your roots and falling in and out and back in love with this experience of living - and he does so with such compelling conviction and imagery, you are sure to find yourself drawn into his spell. "Frankie Soto's PETRICHOR is a triumph of vulnerability. In poem after poem, Soto dismantles each of our 'costumes... worn better than flesh', whether they be linguistic, masculine, feminine, or addicted, and beckons us, with unapologetic bravery, to repeatedly 'return where we did not ask to travel.' Generosity abounds, too, as we make this journey, as Soto offers forgiveness for all our personal and collective shortcomings. Here, the poetic voice is 'a house of rain, ' steady and fertile, giving way to the titular scent of renewal that follows. This collection is an alchemical act, a magic trick of verse and heart that transforms families chewing at breakfast tables, a father's heart responding to the passage of time, the earth responding to the rain, and the mind longing for clarity into a humane, graceful way forward. PETRICHOR is the collection you didn't know you needed." --Matt Pasca Poetry. Family & Relationships. Latinx Studies.
