The University of Arizona Press

Wednesday, February 27 – Seattle University hosts Casandra López alongside Cedar Sigo and Laura Da’. López will be reading from her debut University of Arizona Press collection Brother Bullet. In this powerful collection, Casandra López confronts her relationships with violence, grief, trauma, guilt, and, ultimately, survival. Revisiting the memory and lasting consequences of her brother’s murder, López traces the course of the bullet—its trajectory, impact, wreckage—in poems that are paralyzing and raw with emotion, yet tender and alive in revelations of light.
