speculative poetry from a possible future
Weaving science-fiction, Mexican folklore and magical realism, this fifty-poem collection explores the wonders and pitfalls of humanity in a future yet to come. Experience a faraway world where sapient flora sing melodic tunes, behold orbit-plunging taco trucks as they make planetfall, observe as El Cucuy becomes a stowaway on a space shuttle, witness a neurologically-enhanced lobster become President of the United States and bear the agonizing wave of shrink-ray-gun violence plaguing public schools. All these sights and more await in Mexicans on the Moon: Speculative Poetry from a Possible Future.
