Reviews

In Rooms: Milongas for Prince Arthur Street, Trujillo revives the floating images of his past to understand and reflect upon the circumstances of his present life. He remembers his mother hanging clothes on the line to dry, meditates upon cockroaches or the streets of a new and unknown city, and muses upon the paradoxes of love and death — all with a tough, but graceful humour.
“What he does… wonderfully is fly above the customary bounds of the imagination, and allow the language to serve the flight… The volume delivers an abundance of delights, quirky humour and a sly inventiveness.”
– Montreal Gazette
