Aztec god of old

From award-winning Mexican-American and Indigenous Texas poet Juan Manuel Pérez comes a scifaiku collection of haiku crowns-linked haiku sequences-exploring identity, indigeneity, and the fantastic. In another world where Aztec gods walk the stars, mermaloids whisper from ocean trenches, and chupacabras roam starlit deserts, BURY MY HEART UNDER THE MARTIAN SKY reimagines the future through the past. With his signature style, Pérez captures the tension between colonization and cosmic conquest, humor and horror, and myth and memory.
