The Smallest Muscle in the Human Body
Alberto Ríos
In a town that straddles the border of Mexico and Arizona, Alberto Ríos explains the world not through reason but magic. Carving poems from fable, parable, and family legend, Ríos utilizes the intense and supple imagination of childhood to find and preserve history beyond facts: plastic lemons turning into baseballs, a grandmother’s long hair reaching up to save her life.
