Full Foreground
The University of Arizona Press
Tejada’s innovative work dramatically widens the scope of Latina/o literature, showing us exactly it can accomplish. The poems move very much like a three-act play, in which the first act is one of origins; the second, a staging of desire; and the third, a symbiosis. These acts magnify one another when unified. Each poem within the collection positions itself within the avant-garde, in which the artful use of language aims to dazzle, surprise, and enliven. The poems dance by, preserving a tension between hurry and delay, momentum and stasis, and every line is like a newly launched firecracker, sending out startling patterns of spark and flare.

Compellingly and poetically recounted, these enjoyably disturbing tales lead us to question what is real—and why reality matters.
