Thank you so much to Tin House for gifting me a finish copy. I devoured it, then went back and read it again, letting it wash over and move me.
This collection uses a feminine perspective to understand and unpack the Cuban American experience, especially its tragedies, while also calling to attention the role of patriarchy and powers from all sides, dictating the individual experience. It is abstract, at times, direct in others. It’s woven through with Spanish. I found the themes of poverty, exile, and even liberation to be expertly drawn. I only wish it had been longer because I never wanted to stop reading Leslie Sainz’ words.
A few poems that especially moved me where STILL LIFE WITH CHRIST, AROMATICS - ARS POETICA - SONNET WITH ORULA - MALECÓN/MIAMI - REMEDIOS. I read those over and over.
There is a vulnerably in this collection, undeniably, but the writing is confident, meaningful, passionate and emotive. It’s a beautiful read and one I will return to. Highly recommend this to you all.… (plus d'informations)
