My Kill Adore Him is a collection of poems from Andrés Montoya Poetry Prize-winner Paul MartÃnez Pompa. With a unique, independent voice, MartÃnez Pompa interrogates masculinity, race, language, consumerism, and cultural identity in poems that honor los olvidados, the forgotten ones, who range from the usual suspects brutalized by police to factory workers poisoned by their environment, from the victim of a homophobic beating in the boysâ bathroom to the body of Juan Doe at the Cook County Coronerâs Office. Some of the poems rely on somber, at times brutal, imagery to articulate a political stance while others use sarcasm and irony to deconstruct political stances themselves.
