Colours

Seven colours-beige, yellow, teal, purple, blue, red, and grey-brighten the composition of a young man's life, and characterize its various phases. In COLOURS, "the conflict is romantic," "the brain is endless," and "love is alive." Playful, quirky, synaesthetic, and surreal, Adonis Mendoza's poems melt together food and sex, beauty and filth, social concerns and reckless abandon, and life's persistent seasons. COLOURS asks readers to dance, to play, and then taste the broth of certainty.
