Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. LGBT Studies. OUR LADY OF THE CROSSWORD is a sexy new chapbook from award-winning author Rigoberto Gonzalez, who casts his poetic eye to such varied subjects as word puzzles, Mexican TV in the 80s, can-can dancing, and other compelling encounters that shaped the political consciousness of his cultural heritage and sexuality.

Powerful and sensory, playful and erotic, these poems dazzle on the page with Gonzalez's characteristic fireworks. OUR LADY OF THE CROSSWORD is a saint for all those sinners looking for blessings, miracles, redemption--and drag.
