Praise for My Body Is Paper:
"The sparks of clarity and brilliance that will later inspire a cadre of writers are all here, igniting the pathway that Gil Cuadros set before us. It is astonishing to behold the ardor of vulnerability in his art. We are indebted to his daring–how much brighter we all burn for his insistent testimony, his desire unabashed and incandescent."–Manuel Muñoz, author of The Consequences
"In his poetry, fiction, and nonfiction, Gil Cuadros speaks the reality of his heart, honoring not only his suffering with HIV/AIDS but his survival."– Eloise Klein Healy, author, A Brilliant Loss
"I weep with this book, although it is a celebration, it reminds me of the possibility of a writer called back too soon. The language is a song grounded in earth and culture. There is such rhythm I languish in the stories, even as they make me miss more and more. I don't want it to end, so I keep going back and reading it over and over, each time a reference unfolds differently, the words strike other meanings, the memories have different colors, and I am left with who we all were."–Luis Alfaro, playwright
