Although written in English, it is an English that surprises with its sharply etched and yet resonant cadences that pay tribute to the great poets writing in the Ibero Hispanic tradition of the 20th century--among them Pessoa, Lorca, and Vallejo. The poems discuss the ethics of interpersonal relations, the social identity's conflicted relationship to self discovery, and the family bounds that function as a frame that both supports and limits potential.
