Peter Lechuga crafts a striking debut poetry collection where the personal and the mythic collide with electrifying intensity. Drawing from his Mexican-American upbringing in Southern California, Lechuga weaves together the ancient and the contemporary, blending Aztec and Greek mythology with raw, heart-wrenching stories of love, loss, and the search for meaning. With intricate rhyme schemes and lyrical finesse, he transforms personal pain into powerful, timeless mythologies-inviting readers to witness the sacred and the everyday in new and profound ways. These poems don't just tell stories--they forge new myths.
