Rachel Ellis Neyra¿s (Ren¿s) debut book of poetry, Meteor Shower/Días Sin Shower, listens for how to be in a place. Transient, these poems twist between the sensorial pleasures and uncertainties of bilingualism to roam with off-kilter desires between urban tropicality and capitalist decay. The poems stargaze in Vieques, Philadelphia, and Brooklyn; they whisper-sing love notes to La Habana; they mourn the massacre at Pulse and go gay-dancing in San Juan. Smelling of violetas francesas, brine, new sneakers, and culo, the poems¿ ¿I¿ feels through Cuban mother-love, southern-preacher Daddy issues, and the balm of queer yearnings to make cariño out of harm. Code-switching between mushy feelings and hard histories of touch, philological obsessions and sheer slangy wordplay, the book is un chinchorro en mano with an ear for elegy. Redux translations of Robert Hayden, Laurie Weeks, Eduardo Corral, Dante, and Gil Cuadros reveal this poet-theorist¿s attachments to the broke-ass beauty of American poetics. Printed on risograph at La Impresora in Santurce, San Juan, Puerto Rico, July 2017. Meteor Shower/ Días Sin Shower is part of La Impresora's Trabajo de Poesía Series.
