How to Kill a Goat and Other Monsters

By Saul Hernandez

One is never sure who the monsters are in these poems, only that the narrator desperately doesn't want to be one. In his brilliant debut collection, Hern ndez explores grief, loss, identity, lineage, and belonging with grace, insight, and compassion.

These pages are infused with comfort, with desire, with heartache. Never absent is love, family. Hern ndez--hyperaware of American society's dismissal or hatred of people who look like him--writes with a refreshing confidence, a sure knowledge of who he is and where he comes from. Transcending any particular experience, this volume will continue to resonate with multiple readings.
