“The innovative, formally experimental, and dreamlike lyric prose of SG Huerta’s GOOD GRIEF pulls us forward as if on a train with no breaks. “I want back what I couldn’t have,” says Huerta, “I want back the impossible.” This book reclaims the body, reclaims what was stolen, and without pelos en la lengua, achieves what seems impossible for so many of us; to reverse the thundering wail at the end of our breaking and let it drown the roots and origins of our pain. These words mourn, but do not forget the cruelties. They defy the silence that is commonplace in the aftermath of violence and will remind you too, reader, to not let others keep what they have stolen from you.”
— Marcelo Hernandez Castillo, author of CHILDREN of the Land

“SG Huerta’s Last Stop cracks grief open like a mussel, inviting readers to witness the complexities of mortality and memory. Huerta has artfully captured the honest reality of what comes after loss.”
