Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. Bilingual Edition. Translated from the Spanish by Lisa Horowitz. PRIMERA CAUSA/FIRST CAUSE, the newest book in the Cross-Cultural Review Chapbook Series, is a cycle of meditations on art and memory: "And I think how telling about memory / is really telling about desire, / the very heart of everything I go saving / with words, / these words so in love with this paper" (from "To Live From Desire").
