Estaban Rodriguez's In Bloom is an exquisite array of lyrical poetry. The title poem, for example, takes us through a catalogue of images, beautifully phrased, of family members who 'lent themselves to a pendulum of trumpets, / accordians, drums, guitars, and lyrics that taught us' Spanish and solitariness, the disenchantment. Yet, 'a song / we knew would suddenly come on, give us every reason / to bob our heads, sing along' even if we didn't understand the message. Rodriguez can take us to 'Gomorrah' and 'Golgotha,' and lead us to a prayer that says 'praise be . . . luck' regardless / of circumstances, conditions - was something / that could always be repeated.'

A traditional game of chance popular in Mexico and in Mexican American culture, LoterÍa is poetically rendered in Esteban RodrÍguez’s eighth collection, with each poem revolving around one of the fifty-four cards. Using the image presented as a catalyst for exploration and self-reflection, RodrÍguez unveils the familial journey between two countries and cultures through both a surreal and narrative lens. Here, a mother unearths a severed hand in the desert. A father discovers his heart among a heap of discarded items. And at one point, the speaker—toggling between his role as witness and son—finds himself in a canoe on a river contemplating the meaning behind an authentic experience. Lyrical, insightful, and honestly engaging, LoterÍa sheds light on a world that doesn’t so easily reveal itself, adding to RodrÍguez’s prolific and important oeuvre.

Lyrical insights from an immigrant son navigating love, death, acceptance, and belonging along the United States and Mexico border. With a narrative voice that translates the unforgettable into something lyrical and magical, The Lost Nostalgias demonstrates Esteban Rodríguez’s exploration of familial moments that move between the tragic, the trivial, and the triumphant. A mother’s decaying teeth lead to questions of self-care and beauty; a quinceañera becomes a meditation on masculinity; a visit to the bank illuminates a father’s existential fears; and a rave suddenly becomes a reflection on migration and survival. Because nothing is off the table under Rodríguez’s tender lens, everything and everyone becomes deserving of admiration, dignity, and love.

Esteban Rodriguez's At the River asks what it means to live on the border, and how one can come to terms with the symbolic weight of crossing between two worlds.Combining sharp prose, poetic insight, and a series of incisive black-and-white photographs, At the River journeys to the U.S.-Mexican border in deep south Texas, where our narrator, under his grandmother's watchful eye, contemplates the geography, people, and cultural characteristics that define the region. Over the course of an afternoon, as we cross from one country to the next, we come face to face with fatigued security guards, desperate children, eager vendors, ominous receptionists, and a whole range of characters that mimic that indifference and uncertainty that defines this corner of the earth. In Rodríguez's tender and often humorous style, questions arise about identity, economic privilege, race, the nature of language and silence, and the ways in which belonging becomes more than just the name you were born with. At the River asks not only what it means to live on the border, but how one can come to terms with the symbolic weight of crossing between two worlds.
