Poetry. Latinx Studies. Women's Studies. Translated from the Spanish by Curtis Bauer. Winner of the International Latino Book Award. Lyrical, leaping, mysterious, rigorous, and deft, the poems of Mexican poet Jeannette L. Clariond defy easy analysis. Says Rebecca Gayle Howell, In IMAGE OF ABSENCE, Jeannette L.
