Reviews
Gold That Frames the Mirror is a sacred surprise. Melendez carefully crafts lines that hold an ancestor at each of its break. The book is both breath-taking and breath-giving, the way each poem allows the reader to relish in what we didn't know we needed.--Porsha Olayiwola, Poet Laureate of Boston, Brandon is a poet who both asks and answers, with poise and lyricism. This book was a thrill, each poem opening with a gasp-worthy line ("my first memory / is an open gate") What luck, to be alive at the same time as this book's unfolding. --Hanif Abdurraqib, author of Go Ahead in the Rain, Brandon is a poet who both asks and answers, with poise and lyricism.

The book is both breath-taking and breath-giving, the way each poem allows the reader to relish in what we didn't know we needed.--Porsha Olayiwola, Poet Laureate of Boston, Our speaker, while naming trauma at the intersection of Latinx heritage, masculinity, and mental health, refuses to drown in it. Here, every syllable carries the weight of a lineage and all the ghosts trapped therein; here, the ghosts are granted permission to sing.--George Abraham, author
Synopsis
In Brandon Melendez's debut poetry collection, Gold That Frames the Mirror , nothing sung can truly be lost. Orbiting a daisy-chain of fascinations that range from heritage & family to grief, music, & mental illness, these poems want to know what "home" means, even when the answers can seem too blood-bright to bear staring at. Yet do not mistake Melendez for a poet of an uncomplicated sadness: even when he writes of deep loss, there is the possibility of wonder & joy. Drawing from a wellspring of profound bewilderment present in his images as well as how language assumes--or is assumed by--form, Melendez knows poetry, like home, is something we carry with us in our bodies. Every certainty and every wonderment in Gold That Frames the Mirror is come by honestly and with Melendez's unwavering & tender scrutiny. Here is a book haunted by history but never in service of it. Here is a book that wants to know what comes after elegy, when the gods slink back into their heavens, when we are only left with the names of our dead & the good, dark earth. Melendez offers something like a prayer against overlooking the past & to remember where the gold came from. After all, "Anywhere can become you / once you forget / how you got there."

- a***n (43)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaMistakenly ordered a paperback that I thought was a hardcover, not sellers fault; it was described properly on the listing. Seller still processed a refund the day I went to return the item and let me keep the item anyway. A+++ service. Book arrived quickly in great condition and for a great price. Thank you so much! Amazing seller!
