Entering a Life is Ernesto Trejo's first collection of poetry written in English. His poems are dark and impassioned, and focus on his family, his friends, his childhood in Mexico and his adult years in the United States.

"...a book that is at once compassionately sympathetic as well as perceptively 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

"...a truly mature and accomplished collection".
-- Western American Literature

"Ernesto Trejo is a poet of mysteries and incarnations, of secret unnamed presences, of the magical interior spaces of childhood and the luminous floating world that flares and throbs, that bums in time".
