Maria Paz Guerrero

Pink Tongue Out, Blind Cat (eBook, ePUB)

Übersetzer: Myers, Robin

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

From one of Columbia's most innovative modern poets, María Paz Guerrero's poetry collection, Pink Tongue Out, Blind Cat, is filled with sinuous verses on the human experience told with cadence akin to salsa musicians like Héctor Lavoe.



In María Paz Guerrero's Pink Tongue Out, Blind Cat, unnamed bodies are cut open in search of disease, legs buckle and collapse under pressure, and a blind cat stalks its way through the collection, bumping into unseen objects as it travels. María Paz Guerrero's poetry collection is both experimental and lyrical, forcing readers to fall into its eerily clipped rhythm.
