<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This poignant, sometimes comic, meditation examines the joys and sorrows of loving another person in rich, microscopic detail.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>"I will call the voice of this poet a 'common' voice... a voice a poet could take into an entire lifetime of memorable writing." --Philip Levine, <i>Ploughshares</i></p><p>This second collection from APR-Honickman winner Tomás Q. Morín explores love gone sideways in the lives of lovers, parents and children, humans and the divine. <i>Patient Zero</i> is filled with voices--of all the people, places, and things that surround a life sick with heartbreak. Doors are the wooden tongues of a house, grocery-store cashiers are gatekeepers to the infinite, and food is the all-powerful life force behind every living thing.</p><p>From Patient Zero</p><p><i>Love is a worried, old heart</i><br><i>disease</i>, as Son House once put it, the very stuff<br>blues are made of, real blues<br> that consist of a male and female, not monkey junk<br>like the "Okra blues" or "Pay Day blues,"<br>though I think House would agree<br>two hearts of any persuasion are enough for a real blues, <br>if one of them is sick, that sickly green of a frog<br>bitten in two by the neighbor's dog, all of which<br>makes me wonder about the source of our disease<br>and whose teeth first tore the heart after Adam<br>and Eve left the garden?...</p><p>Tomás Q. Morín's debut poetry collection <i>A Larger Country</i> was the winner of the APR/Honickman Prize. He is co-editor with Mari L'Esperance of the anthology <i>Coming Close, </i> and translator of <i>The Heights of Macchu Picchu</i> by Pablo Neruda.
