There Should Be Flowers

There Should Be Flowers

<p>"Espinoza's debut<em> </em>is a searing interrogation of the world and the self at once. Here, the body is a fixation-as if to look away from it, even briefly, is to risk having it erased. As such, this is a book of unblinking human preservation, and how we trespass ourselves seeking safer spaces. "There is nothing I love more than an honest storm," Espinoza writes. <em>There Should Be Flowers </em>is a storm to ravage and rearrange us from our crushing certainties. This book doesn't need a blurb. It simply needs to be read."</p> <p><strong>-Ocean Vuong, author of Night Sky with Exit Wounds</strong></p>
