"Gabriel G�mez's third poetry collection, Samsara at Quantum Zeno, tests the theory that we might stop time through profound observation and the lyric impulse. The book is a blessing of invention and hard-won insights, drawing on found language, mathematical theory, science, ancient forms, and spirituality to consider where one belongs amidst the intimate pain of personal loss and the collective revulsion of hateful politics. With G�mez's clear vision, we find the absurd in the everyday, the cosmic in the smallest details, and our salvation in each other. The book's first poem, ""�migr�,"" ends: ""And I do not / I do not blossom."" But Samsara at Quantum Zeno closes in a moment of bliss, the promise of a timeless ""now."" Blas Falconer, author of Rara Avis and Forgive the Body This Failure Gabriel G�mez practices a kind of poetic samsara, wandering across various real and symbolic locations to reflect upon the cycles of life. Throughout, he meditates on migration, racist politics, environmental justice, and the death of parents. As an embodiment of the quantum Zeno effect, this work experiments with multiple forms and serial structures, which creates a stillness of perception within the dance of memory and perception. Craig Santos Perez, author of from unincorporated territory [�mot]"
