About the Book

ni de aquí, ni de allá: It starts neither here nor there, a liminal space between two states of being. A life captured within his lines, At Least This I Know guides the reader through Andrés N. Ordorica’s own story, of ancestry, nationhood, activism and queerness, through childhood photographs, across international highways, to tales of love and loss, and beyond. These poems are a means of working through the belonging in both the physical sense and emotional, be it the belonging of immigrant bodies in new countries, or that of the queer self within found families and safe spaces. Navigating his family origin and personal journey to belonging, from Mexico, the USA, to Scotland, it’s a story to be welcomed into, one that flows from the page and envelops you. Shortlisted for Poetry Book of the Year at Scotland's National Book Awards.

About the Author :
Andres N. Ordorica is a queer Latinx poet, writer, and educator based in Edinburgh, Scotland. He creates worlds filled with characters who are from neither here nor there (ni de aqui, ni de alla). His writing often addresses themes of queerness, liminality, loss, love, and concepts of belonging. He has published personal essays and articles on mental health, sexuality, and immigration.

Review :
“Vivid, humane, caustic, brittle and witty, a compelling take on story, state, sorrow and soul.” - Jenni Fagan, author of Luckenbooth
