Taking aim at the \"historically undernourished,\" these are poems of an American man of color facing down American-made horrors, and in the end, finding the necessary and essential affirmation: \"Nothing will hurt us. \/ We are invincible.\" Jonathan, then, is a poet charged with, and fueled by, justice for this moment; his \u003cem\u003eThe Cartographer of Crumpled Maps\u003c\/em\u003e is an invitation for us to join him. \u003cstrong\u003e--Joshua Roark\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaking use of the roles of witness, citizen, and archaeologist, Jonathan Andrew Pérez takes in the city: its people, history, shadows, and light to produce brave, unyielding poems that seeks truth when none is visible nor accessible.

Through his criminal justice pastorals, odes that mirror elegies, and subverted definitions Pérez excavates America's haunting past and finds language for us to challenge, discuss, and heal from the atrocities committed to our society's most vulnerable and marginalized people.
