Qué quietud había ahí arriba, pero ¿por qué nunca estaba en paz? El día aún no despuntaba, y Furlong miró hacia el río oscuro y brillante cuya superficie reflejaba partes equivalentes del pueblo iluminado. Eran tantas las cosas que se veían mejor, cuando no estaban tan cerca. No pudo decir cuál prefería, si la vista del pueblo o su reflejo en el agua.
Invierno de 1985 en un pequeño pueblo irlandés. Bill Furlong es un hombre amable y...

"Shockley repurposes literary and musical modes from across centuries of African American and diasporic traditions. Given the choice between formal flawlessness and page-spanning sprawls, between autobiographical revelation and collective outcry, she welcomes the self-contradictions of being all the above."--
"Evie Shockley's new poems invite us to dream-and work-toward a more capacious 'we'. In her new poetry collection, Evie Shockley mobilizes...

the secret about dying arrived scrawny. it's growing stronger & fatter though & whispers, "go mad."
Beyond ancient gates, among thorny overgrowth and carnivorous blooms, a raven called Death waits tirelessly for its chance to roost within us. Using scraps of love, remorse, anger, and pain, it weaves. With erasure, memory, and discovery, it binds. And from the garden of wounds that grows within our broken hearts, it builds Strange Nests.
In the follow-up...

Eran libros que se publicaron en pequeñas tiradas y que hasta hoy resultaban inencontrables. Poemarios dispersos, escritos entre los 70 y los 90 principalmente, que parecían escabullirse de los lectores, aunque en realidad se escabullían de la censura, y que ahora se recopilan en Actas urbe, de Elvira Hernández (1951). Libros urgentes, que la autora de La Bandera de Chile iba escribiendo en esos años, rápido, escapando de los censores, pero...

The same relationship starts again.
Another boy likes me, I go after him, leaving the relationship suspended.

Without a thought, I'm back again, fighting with him.

Hay momentos que nunca serán olvidados… Dolores, traumas, palabras regaladas al viento que nunca llegaron a destino, amores que no fueron. El invierno en el que me enamoré de la tormenta es la estela de cada uno de estos momentos.
Entre versos y reflexiones, nos adentramos en las entrañas de un pasado lleno de grietas, oscuridad y dolor, pero que con el tiempo supo ser luz, amor y florecer.
«Estamos hechos de instantes, fragmentos, que marcan...

The poetry reflects these two very different rural and urban lifestyles.
