 Description:

“Something Close to God” explores the themes of redemption, identity, and overcoming adversity in the face of cisheteropatriarchal expectations. This collection of poems is unafraid to scream at God and demand answers from the great void. It also delves into the catharsis of grief and follows the speaker through the trajectory of making peace with the act of letting go. In their work, Erika Del Carmen Ruiz heavily explores the concept of confessional poetry, connecting trauma with artistic expression. The book offers a deeply personal and revealing examination of intense emotional struggles, allowing the reader to gain a profound understanding of these experiences.
