«Looking for the Gulf Motel» is Richard Blanco's poetry collection, published by University of Pittsburgh Press in paperback (96 pages, in English).
The collection is organized in three movements that trace the author's relationship with his exiled Cuban family from childhood to adulthood. It addresses cultural and sexual identity, displacement, the search for home, the relationship with the father, and the death of the previous generation, in a reflection on what we cannot hold on to: country, family, or love.
Published in 2012 in the Pitt Poetry Series, it is Richard Blanco's third poetry collection. It received the Paterson Poetry Prize and the Thom Gunn Award for Gay Poetry.
For readers of contemporary poetry interested in family memory, Cuban American identity, and the queer experience.
