"Citizen Illegal is right on time, bringing both empathy and searing critique to the fore as a nation debates the very humanity of the people who built it." --Eve Ewing, author of Electric Arches

In this stunning debut, poet José Olivarez explores the stories, contradictions, joys, and sorrows that embody life in the spaces between Mexico and America. He paints vivid portraits of good kids, bad kids, families clinging to hope, life after the steel mills, gentrifying barrios, and everything in between. Drawing on the rich traditions of Latinx and Chicago writers like Sandra Cisneros and Gwendolyn Brooks, Olivarez creates a home out of life in the in-between. Combining wry humor with potent emotional force, Olivarez takes on complex issues of race, ethnicity, gender, class, and immigration using an everyday language that invites the reader in. Olivarez has a unique voice that makes him a poet to watch.

José Olivarez is the son of Mexican immigrants. He is a co-host of the podcast, The Poetry Gods. A winner of fellowships from Poets House, The Bronx Council On The Arts, The Poetry Foundation, and The Conversation Literary Festival, his work has been published in The BreakBeat Poets and elsewhere. He is the Marketing Manager at Young Chicago Authors.

Poor Whisk Quality
Color: Green
I've had the kit for about a month. This matcha kit would be good for beginners just trying to get into making drinks at home. While I am not as experienced with matcha, I feel you could get a better ensemble to whisk your matcha. Mine is still holding up. I've made around 15 drinks probably? But I can't see the whisk holding on for longer than 3 months. The whisk quality is not very good. The whisk mixes well, but it has a tendency for the bristles to break and bits of bamboo to end up in your drink. The rest of the kit is holding up pretty well. The look of it is cute and minimalistic. Everything is easy to clean, though I think matcha kits are not meant to get very dirty besides coming in contact with matcha and water. If you mix anything else with this kit, I am not sure how well the bamboo will hold up in regards to mold.

Love This Set!
Color: Green
My daughter loves making matcha with this set. It as lasted for her matcha making sessions. The size is perfect to sit on top of the counter top. It's easy to clean, and leaves no after taste of any kind, nothing but great tasting matcha. The whisk makes to mix and get all the matcha powder so non sticks at the bottom or sides. It's a great buy!

Great so far!
Color: Green
Simple matcha kit that works. I make my Matcha in my mug so I did not need a bowl. (One less thing to clean. ) As long as you clean what you use right away, it all just comes off. It's survived near daily use since I baught it.
