Produktbeschreibung
This Tangled Body by Carmen Calatayud reads as surreal poetic memoir, navigating family history, war, migration and the grit of relationships. Through lyrical language, she searches for ways to rescue a body that knows pain, addiction and generational trauma. Elegies, love letters and concussions cross paths here, along with planets and stars, demonstrating that the potential to heal is possible when raw truth and grace are present. Calatayud's willingness to face the land of the dead and cross all borders is on full display. As she invites us to "leave this continent and/light the path behind us on fire," her poetry insists we return to love, and love hard.
