Cruel Fiction by Wendy Trevino
This is a spectacular debut trying to puzzle though our present, from the workplace to the pop charts but most of all to the politics of struggle. The latest in AK's Commune Editions imprint, Cruel Fiction brings together new material with celebrated work published here for the first time in book form, including the provocative and charged 'Brazilian Is Not a Race', a sonnet sequence meditating on race, nation, and history seen from the author's native Rio Grande Valley; it also includes the widely-circulated '128-131', a caustic, hilarious, tender account memorialising three days in jail during the Occupy movement.
Wendy Trevino was born and raised in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas. She lives in San Francisco, where she shares an apartment with her boyfriend, friend & two senior cats. She has published chapbooks with Perfect Lovers Press, Commune Editions and Krupskaya Books. Brazilian no es una raza - a bilingual edition of the chapbook she published with Commune Editions - was published by the feminist Mexican press Enjambre Literario in July 2018. Cruel Fiction is her first book-length collection of poems. Wendy is not an experimental writer.
