Eduardo C. Corral Selected Works

Guillotine traverses desert landscapes cut through by migrants, the grief of loss, betrayal’s lingering scars, and the border itself. Through the voices of undocumented immigrants, border patrol agents, and scorned lovers, Eduardo C. Corral writes portraits of contradiction, survival, and a deeply human, relentless interiority, solidifying his place in the expanding ecosystem of American poetry.

Seamlessly braiding English and Spanish, Corral's poems hurtle across literary and linguistic borders toward a lyricism that slows down experience. He employs a range of forms and phrasing, bringing the vivid particulars of his experiences as a Chicano and gay man to the page.
