Not Go Away Is My Name is a collection of euphoric almost pendantic mannerisms without obfuscation- it’s prose is numinous and cool, with a catchy Latin(x) feel that makes it’s writings appear that much more lucent and demur. Alberto Ríos has a penchant for the river song, for the ancestral storytelling that makes his poetry more of an aria.
Delighted with this find. I've read "Kid Hielero" to several captive audiences and will not think of watermelon in the same way again.
