6 Lineage Poems is a debut poetry collection rooted in the body and the world. Half the collection is lush and evocative, lingering in both sensuality and sentimentality. The other half sits in stillness and calm. There are poems that embody old lovers while looking forward to new ones, and there are poems that sit back to observe a lake, garden, or the sky. All in all, this collection is a little offering for the altar of poetic lineage, and it calls on poets from Li Bai to Megan Fernandes. “Make of me a song,” Trujillo states and implores. And make of himself a song, he does.
Fernando Trujillo is a native of El Paso, TX. His work has appeared with Passages North, The Cortland Review, Michigan Quarterly Review (Goldstein Prize in Poetry), and elsewhere.
