The Prince of Los Cocuyos: A Miami Childhood

I'd heard of Richard Blanco but wasn't super familiar with his work, but I got this as a gift and I'm glad I did because I otherwise don't know that I would have picked this up, but I loved it! It reminded me a bit of David Sedaris, which I guess is an obvious comparison for tragi-funny stories from growing up gay with a dynamic family, but here we are. Blanco's work is a bit less laugh-out-loud funny than Sedaris's but, as you might expect from a former poet laureate, more poetic. Really moving.
