Reviews
"An inherently fascinating, thoughtful and thought-provoking read from beginning to end, The Last Cigarette on Earth is unreservedly recommended, especially for academic library Latino Poetry & Prose collections." Midwest Book Review "Senz's lines are at their best when they expose intimacies in unexpected places. ... The Last Cigarette on Earth invites the reader to occupy spaces of contradiction, falling between love and hate, tenderness and violence, pain and pleasure." Harvard Review Online, "Sáenz's lines are at their best when they expose intimacies in unexpected places. ... The Last Cigarette On Earth invites the reader to occupy spaces of contradiction, falling between love and hate, tenderness and violence, pain and pleasure." -- Harvard Review "Benjamin Alire Saenz's poems are ballads. They're stories but they also have a whiff of the life sailing by from the car just passing with the radio on. It's music in stores selling stuff and suddenly it's inside your heart too painful to ignore. I love the honesty of this work and the sharp sweet reminder that we pick up art, our own and other people's (including their tattoos) same way birds hold onto something inside and out to fly forward. His tunes are wild and brave." -- Eileen Myles, poet and novelist "The Last Cigarette on Earth has a stark verite style as Benjamin Alire Sáenz looks back on his own haunting past and reflects on his interior world now, sometimes revealing emotional pain and solitude, resolved that he may never find it. --Lew J. Whittington" -- The New York TimesNew York Journal of Books "An inherently fascinating, thoughtful and thought-provoking read from beginning to end,The Last Cigarette on Earthis unreservedly recommended, especially for academic library Latino Poetry & Prose collections." -- Midwest Book Review 2018 Paterson Poetry Prize Finalist, "An inherently fascinating, thoughtful and thought-provoking read from beginning to end, The Last Cigarette on Earth is unreservedly recommended, especially for academic library Latino Poetry & Prose collections."

Synopsis
A gay Latino's intimate journey through addiction, human desire and broken love. A major Latino writer's intimate but healing journey through addiction, human desire and broken love. From "He Leaves a Message in the Middle of the Night" He loved beer and crack. He loved heroin, ecstasy, the sad music of the bars. He said he loved you too. You are thinking of the night you met him. Late October night, the breeze as soft as his black eyes. He was so hungry for trouble. You were so hungry for anything that resembled love. Your finger tracing the tattoos on his chest, you dreamed of living in the prison of his arms. But you refused to live in the prison of his deadly nights. You can't survive without the morning light. You repeat this again and again: He's a man, not an illness. Tattoos and prison. Novels and poems. A bird can love a fish but they can't live in your apartment. He called again last night and left a message that was meant to wound. He said: I want to know what you meant when you said I love you. You said: I love you. I meant I love you. He said: I want to know what you meant when you said goodbye. You said: Goodbye. I meant goodbye. You whispered his name in the dark., A major Latino writer's intimate but healing journey through addiction, human desire and broken love.
