"Ernesto Trejo is a poet of mysteries and incarnations, of secret unnamed presences, of the magical interior spaces of childhood and the luminous floating orld that flares and throbs, that burns in time" (Edward Hirsch). Entering a Life is "a book that is at once compassionately sympathetic as well as perceptivly empathetic, and Trejo's craftsman-like amalgamation of both qualities gives his work a forceful originality that is all too seldom seen" (The Texas Review).
