100 WORD BOOK REVIEWS / Between the Spine by Adrian Ernesto Cepeda

There is a rippling in this collection that slowly builds, a waning and waxing of desire. Adrian has created a sacred space in these pages that speak directly to his lover, or ours. In his personal narrative, we witness a vulnerability birthed out of the chaos and the quiet. We are left throbbing with our own itch and urge. Adrian opens up in order for us to do the same. The collection pulses with high intensity, but there is also sweetness and filth. You will find yourself somewhere in here, a true and relevant collection of multitudes made succinct.
