MOPES

Author: Kenneth Reveiz

Publisher: Fence Books (2022)

Straddling the wreckage of late capitalist America, the poems in Kenneth Reveiz’s MOPES arc urgently toward utopia—or at least they do their best. The intimate eros of liberated queerness is interrupted, undermined by a flood of dystopian American violence. The choice to fight for love and justice roars from each page with a poet’s heart and an activist’s ferocity. Breaking new ground in queer and Latinx writing, MOPES is a provocative, political, and paradigm-shifting coming-of-age story about revolutionary disappointment.
