Peering into the Sun

“Luis Cuauhtémoc Berriozábal is one of the few fine poets writing in the US today. His unrequited love poems are sad and lonely, but never contain the sense of self-pity. His poems in the voices of the mentally disturbed are often challenging to the average reader but open up the world of madness to those who have never experienced it. He also has several nature poems that bring the interior world of the human into the exteriors of clouds, moon, sea, forests, and he makes the aspects of form and shape take place with a series of striking images that bring the two together. Read him deeply and enjoy. His lyrical voice is among the best.” - Leonard Cirino, Pygmy Forest Press
