SO MUCH AT RISK: TALKING WITH CHRISTOPHER SOTO in the Rumpus
It is impossible to read Christopher Soto’s debut poetry collection without having a visceral reaction. Diaries of a Terrorist, out this month from Copper Canyon Press, is not a collection of pretty poems, though there is great beauty in Soto’s words and deep courage in his vulnerability. This is a book that will move you—rock you. Soto is unapologetic in the demands he makes of his readers.
