Always Messing with Them Boys

In this award-winning debut, poet Jessica Helen Lopez ruminates on love and romance, motherhood, teaching, and the trials and tribulations of adulthood. This collection in the New Series was voted a Southwest Book of the Year by the Tucson-Pima County Public Library, and Lopez won the Zia Award from the New Mexico Press Women for her work.

This collection is an exotic, aphrodisiacal perfume wafting through the senses, thickly spiced by the dual nature of a poet whose culture and experience effortlessly blend concrete imagery with a quiet, fierce longing for a world that may only exist within memory—or verse.
