Removing Skin

"Embracing an identity of twenty-first century west coast urban squalor, Trevino Brings Plenty creates a madly cruising momentum barreling down the page instantly akin to narrowing proximities within a panorama of cityscapes, apartments and dives. The resulting irresistible fervor brings a flavor of first to a long-awaited banter. Hold on; this one is fully loose." -Allison Adelle Hedge Coke

"A laugh heard around the world, a mandatory message for the rest of America. Trevino Brings Plenty fires off this poetic shot from the northwest coast and its reverberations are necessary. Necessary for an understanding of the Indian world - its humour, its pain, its absolute refusal to fit the mold of the other's expectations of what our red world should be." -James Thomas Stevens

"Trevino L. Brings Plenty's work is deceptively straightforward. The rich values of human struggle rumble between lines of the voice and vicissitude of marked page. These poems are viscously inked illustrations of bleak scenes obscured in popular American culture." -Elizabeth Woody
