Poetry. "Written in a style that can best be described as chatty, his verses are colored with conversational aides, tangential remarks and word associations that seem (at first) utterly random. The result of this approach is an uncommon intimacy. Somonza's poems are deeply personal musings, and it's refreshing how unapologetic he is about that. It is all very friendly, nonlinear and completely without fixity. Somoza seems to like everything that way"--Blake de Pastino.
