Celso

“Romero’s book is not so much a collection of poems as it is a narrative sequence, a body of related pieces which follow the title character from birth to the brink of death. Celso is Everyman, his roles ranging from shabby Christ figure to buffoon, drunkard and ladies’ man, alternately unkempt, lascivious, pathetic, witty-cruel, curious and outrageous.”
