Set in a Chicago neighborhood dominated by gang life, Saenz sets the sweetness and vulnerability of youth against the cold reality of a gun pressed against a forehead. Full of accelerative sound--tight rhymes and short, percussive lines--these poems follow a fast-paced trajectory from danger to survival, pausing to acknowledge the beauty and humor in the details along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom Blue Line Incident \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e. . . the boys of 15th and 51st, I say, \u003cbr\u003ethey're my boys, my friends.\u003cbr\u003eI was fishing for a life-\u003cbr\u003esaver \u0026amp; he took, hooked him in\u003cbr\u003e\u0026amp; had him say goodbye like we was boys\u003cbr\u003e\u0026amp; shit when really I should've \u003cbr\u003egutted that fuck w\/the tip\u003cbr\u003eof my blue ballpoint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJacob Saenz \u003c\/strong\u003ewas born in Chicago and raised in Cicero, Illinois.
