Do You Still Cry About Your Dead Cat? - Paperback

by José-Ariel Cuevas (Author), Rosanna Alvarez (Foreword by)

Do You Still Cry About Your Dead Cat? is a raw and unfiltered journey through the intersections of working-class struggle, cultural identity, and the quiet existential weight of everyday life. Through poetry and prose, José-Ariel Cuevas captures the melancholy of long workdays, the nostalgia of fleeting moments, and the deep reflections that emerge in the liminal spaces of city streets, dimly lit bars, and solitary bus rides. The collection relays the piercing sobering wisdoms borne of generations of tirando al grano, or getting straight to it, where words are worth their weight. With an eye for life's contradictions-beauty in the mundane, humor in sorrow, and defiance in despair-Cuevas presents a collection that is both deeply personal and universally resonant.
