Description
Poetry. Bilingual Edition. Translated from the Spanish by Jeremy Spencer. BLUEBIRD AND OTHER TATTOOS is Luna Miguel's English language debut. This full length collection is compromised of a selection of poems from Luna's previous books originally published in Spain.
"Ebullient, direct yet lyrical, instinctual, unapologetically youthful and explicit, she is widely regarded across Spain for her remarkable talent and unyielding presence. Undoubtedly she will be a force in European poetry for many years to come."—SJ Fowler
