What people saying about OTRO/PATRIA
"It's 2019, and we're still questioning a vision of America that neither warmly regards the other nor lives its ideals of patriotism. Chibbi provides a refreshing and entertaining voice to these questions, carrying readers across multiple fronteras of identity, personhood, family, love and country. Chibbi fought each word of OTRO/PATRIA over and over again and gave this collection the critical attention of a patriot."
- C.L. "Rooster" Martinez, President of Write Art Out"With descriptive passages laid out in a unique way, OTRO/PATRIA by M.R. “Chibbi” Orduña challenges readers to see the flaws within themselves while connecting to the author’s own truths. The simple poetry is straightforward in its angry message, and is bound to resonate with those who’ve experienced similar circumstances. Life, lust, inward pain, resentment, and grief are among the emotional words in this colorful collection."
- IndieReader.com"Our beloved Chibbi is a clever writer with a fascinating brain. OTRO/PATRIA reminds us that every BODY has a story and this work is the beauty-mark for it all. You can't unhear or unfeel Chibbi's work, as it is daringly honest, beautifully flawed, and unfolding profound imagery."
