"These poems by Daniel Rodríguez Moya have decided to speak to us in a low voice. What are they talking to us about? It would be more pertinent to ask what these poems expect of us. They expect us to feel the fear in things, the eternal murmuring, "enveloping everything.". But also they expect our complicity: someone who speaks to us in a low voice asks...

In StockJardín transparente by Camila Peña has the slowness of the earth and of its roots and also its fertility. Camila speaks from her voice as a baby-girl bird, transforms all that is human into vegetable material, fragile, so alive, where silver spiders pass by, where we feel the sacred nature of mud. Her language is reborn in the wound that bleeds sap and...
In StockA mother teaching you to be in touch with your emotions, a father making you a tough nut to crack; these two sides waging war in your head since you have had the use of reason. Love affairs that last a while, heartbreaks that last as long as Sundays. Excuses that you don’t understand, contradictions that you don’t get either. Human atrocities and the...

It feels good to read her, like sipping from a potion that helps us recognize ourselves and conforts us while we look at the footprints left behind that are already beginning to fade. Martín...
In stockPoetry might be that iguana that runs over the rooftops of a dead-end street, devouring juicy mangos while the neighbors want to trap it and serve it up at dinner time. Without a doubt, Jeremy Paden has found a dwelling place. Good poets have that ability to make and remake worlds, to take us to other dimensions with a surprising naturalness. “Must we...
In stockWoven with voyages, ovens, and water-water, Ivonne Gordon examines and flows in and out of love’s bodies of “tiempo fosforescente,” phosphorescent time and solitude. Each poem is caught in currents and moments of astral montages, the possibility of miracles, a task cascading between nothingness and desire. All these things are palpable, they can be shaped...

In stockIn this anthology, Rosalía de Castro speaks to our lonelinesses, to our longing for connection in an increasingly disconnected world, to the solace found in rootedness, to the writing of our desires onto the natural world, to climate change.

In stockIn 2020 a worldwide pandemic changed the world. Mankind, vulnerable creatures whose bodies could be devastated by a single particle of virus in the air, saw themselves forced to return to the forests, to the life of nature, to primordial solitude.

In stockNotes for a Legend (Mario Meléndez, Linares, Chile, 1971) is one of the most original voices of his generation. His poetry springs forth from great masters the likes of Vicente Huidobro and Julio Cortázar, but from there his sense of humor and of the macabre take over. One must-read poem is “My cat wants to be a poet.”: At a book signing, “I recognized...
