(Moreno, María Paz)
978-0-9988982-8-5
In the words of writer Julia Otxoa, “From the luminous Arabic, Greek, and Mediterranean legacies, María Paz Moreno creates a new poetry in response to current times, builds new bridges that help us understand losses and treasures, establishing other trajectories to grow in both interrogation and hope.”

THE WRITTEN BODY
Words,
secretions of my body,
like sweat, siliva or excrement.
They are born of me like wild plants,
like weeds
they sprout from me without asking permission.
All of me is a dictionary
with pages annotated in the margin
and a worn-out spine.
