Cupid of the Mess - Poems by Nico

from $33.00

Cupid of the Mess is my first collection.

Containing over 100 poems in loose chronological order, Cupid of the Mess charts how my reckonings with chaos become a practice in compassion for the paradox of being human.

These poems move through passion, heartbreak, my Mexican heritage, grief, spirituality & faith (including poems from my 8-day darkness meditation), and the emergence of my identity as a writer.


‘It’s going to ache, as it does
when the moment flies, as it does.
So I will write, as I do.’”


Sharp yet ethereal. Electric yet grounded. Fiercely attentive to beauty.


These poems remind you to praise your hardships, for they are worth enduring.


This first-edition print run is limited to 500 copies. 

From the middle of my mess to the middle of yours.
