Stavans, the Lewis-Sebring Professor of Humanities, Latin American, and Latino Culture at Amherst College, has written a number of novels, graphic novels, and works of nonfiction. He is quite a poet too. The poems in this collection, few in number, but deep and wide-ranging, cover walls (sure its right there in the title), borders, the barriers between brothers (though I think that whole brother thing was a metaphor for some of the other points that it took me a while to understand).
ALTO!
My
brother
and
I
grow up:
as
adults,
we
are
selfish,
venal,
even
mercenary:
suspicious
of
one
another
Really worth reading and exploring.
