Las Horas Imposibles / The Impossible Hours

The University of Arizona Press

In Las Horas Imposibles / The Impossible Hours, Octavio Quintanilla takes us on a profound journey through borders and disquiet, love and longing, the unsaid and the unsayable. The perpetual search for wholeness is confounded and shadowed by all the brutal things intent on breaking us: distance, time, language. In these poems, the lyrical and concrete intertwine—complicating our notions of immigration, imagination, and identity. Culminating in a long poem that closes the collection, Las Horas Imposibles is an inevitable revelation of vulnerability amid quiet violence.
