In this brilliantly rendered collection—the author's fourth—Morales explores love and grief after the death of his father, weaving his father's personality, his childhood in Puerto Rico, and his service in the US military with dreamscapes and explorations of life after death and how our loved ones continue to live on in our memories and actions.
