About the Book:
Other Stories to Tell Ourselves delivers the news that nothing in the world is final or natural. In his debut chapbook, poet and truth teller Vincente G. Perez counters the abstractions of race and colonization with a passionate clarity that dares his readers to seek out new lives hidden within the hum of the modern world. Other Stories to Tell Ourselves asks: Why fear the unknown when facing it could lead to new life?
