Trade Review
An exquisite translation of one of the most important Afro-Colombian poets writing today."--Emanuelle K. F. Oliveira-Monte, author of Writing Identity: The Politics of Contemporary Afro-Brazilian Literature

"A stunning contribution. . . . The poems themselves unfold as a kind of revelation of a geographic and cultural space, unknown to most English speakers, into a poetic universe of unexpected insights of a complex consciousness sounding out the meaning of the world through childhood memories, philosophical speculation, and the quick reversals of humor and irony."--Gwen Kirkpatrick, author of The Dissonant Legacy of Modernismo: Lugones, Herrera y Reissig, and the Voices of Modern Spanish American Poetry
