There will be days, brown boy

Beschreibung

In his debut full-length poetry collection, Alejandro Jimenez takes readers on a journey of self-discovery and introspection as he grapples with the profound concept of 'home.' With a new and old country as his backdrop, he skillfully weaves a tapestry of verse that delves into the essence of belonging, identity, and the interconnectedness of people, culture, nostalgia, and the beautiful complexities of the human spirit.
