I especially love \"When I Picked the Wrong Bar.\" --Hollie McNish \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eÁngelo Néstore's poetry, his \"impure acts,\" changes the whole cartography of desire with the beautiful perfection of a modern, dream-like demiurge who knows he is in absolute possession of his glory. Poem-temples, poem-traps, gaps in the disquiet for those who will have no better illumination than that which is offered by this dialogue between poet and reader. Communion, I would say, if communion were not sometimes dangerously conflated with religiosity. Poems which, in their exquisite and innovative craftsmanship, already demand a canonical place in our collective memory and anthologies. --Carlos Pintado \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eÁngelo Néstore's \u003cem\u003eImpure Acts \u003c\/em\u003eis a pair of full lungs heaving just below the surface of the text. The poems explore and explode inherited notions of gender, desire, \u0026amp; reproduction. The lyric voice is alive and vibrating in these clipped narratives where nostalgia abuts the present \u0026amp; sings there. This is a book to be read aloud \u0026amp; then to read aloud again. Try it with your friends. --Sam Sax \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eÁngelo Néstore\u003c\/strong\u003e (Lecce, Italy, 1986) is a poet, actor, and professor in the Department of Translation and Interpreting of the University of Málaga in Spain.
