Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. Translated from the Spanish by Rose Alcala. "Lila Zemborain's power subverts paper: her words turn pages into films of blurred or incomplete images. The references are specific, but what is happening remains stubbornly a question defying the definitive answer except for what a reader is moved to speculate... These poems' secrets are within you"--Eileen Tabios.
