FIGHTING KITE by Vince Gotera
San Antonio, TX: Pecan Grove Press, 2007
ISBN: 978-1-931247-23-8 • $8.00

Nick Carbó: " 'Fighting Kite' is a tour-de-force in American poetry. The book is a psychological landscape of risk and loss in the complicated relationship between a father who survived the Bataan Death March in WWII and a son coming to terms with this historical legacy. These poems terrify and comfort and will resonate for a long time."

Annie Finch: "The skillfully interwoven lines in Vince Gotera's 'Fighting Kite' — tightly gripping couplets, wryly sprawling sestinas, eerie terza rima — stay ever alert to the echoes and shadows of language. Subtle in music and vivid in imagery, these poems spin honest tales that spell out hard and important truths of the pain and pride between father and son."
