RavePloughshares[Reyes] writes from an expansive, complex \'we\' that pulls all the quiet daughters out from where they were hidden away. She writes in a new language for the daughters, the mothers, the workers, the immigrants, the monstrous, the bitches, the detained, the dead, the silenced: the women ... Language is fraught for Reyes, and her poetry crackles with her attempts at breaking out from the binds of colonialism, gender, and history ... Reyes’s language, bastardized by colonial violence, is also one that’s thriving and full of light.
