Selected by Gander from throughout López-Colomé's five books in Spanish, these exceptional poems confront the confinements of fate, history, and misbegotten beliefs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn forms that blur back and forth between poetry and prose, López-Colomé uses spare and honest language to describe the music of dreams, faith, and faithlessness; hers are poems of the soul resuscitated from the shackles of the body. As Gander notes in his Introduction: \"[This] poetry is philosophical and exacting, pared into short, sharp lines, obsidian flakes.\" Indeed, the fierce intelligence and insistent moral and spiritual engagement of López-Colomé's poetry situate her among the most significant contemporary Mexican poets. \u003ci\u003eNo Shelter\u003c\/i\u003e is a bilingual edition, with English translations appearing in the first half of the text and the Spanish originals in the second.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Graywolf Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47055438381296,"sku":"9781555973605","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781555973605_p0.jpg?v=1763755580","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781555973605","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
