Reviews"Bosque will inspire pride as well as self-reflection and is likely to send readers born and raised in the state down memory lane."--Jennifer Levin, Santa Fe New Mexican, "Ultimately, this is a collection full of praise poems, full of gratitude for herbs and rain, librarians and storytellers, brothels and the circus. The poet acts as chronicler of a place and all of its times."--Carla Panciera, Mom Egg Review, "Michelle Otero's Bosque poems fuel multifarious definitions, including definitions of givers, art-makers, makers, and even the color brown. At the core of the poetry project is the consistent defiance to restrictive definitions and a call to recognize that we, just like water, are fluid."--Melinda Zepeda, Latino Book Review
