Center of the Spin moves through late nights, growing up in San Diego and Oxnard, and other borderland spaces where English and Spanish, faith and doubt, love and survival collide. These poems trace what it means to grow up Chicano, queer, and sensitive in a world that keeps insisting on toughness. Dario Jesus Roldan invites readers into a storm of thought and feeling, where being "emocionado" becomes a way of seeing clearly.
