“True to the title, the poems in Mixed Messages present a continual shifting between letting go and holding too tightly, between longing for the past and looking out toward the inevitable end of life that awaits us all. Often humorous and ironic, these are poems about movement while standing still, about love when the heart is indifferent. Cuetara’s poems are thoughtful and remind us there is always more than one perspective to consider when lost in the brilliance of living.”
