Coral Bracho was born in Mexico City, and is the author of eight books of poetry. Forrest Gander’s recent books include the novel As a Friend and the poetry collection Eye Against Eye. This poem is from Firefly Under the Tongue: Selected Poems of Coral Bracho (New Directions).
Instead of reiterating a fragmented and fragmenting language use, this project re-posts tweet-length moments from larger forms of reflection, that themselves consider artistic wholes, with links when possible to those instances of synthesis and integrity. The prototypical post here is a short passage from a review of a literary work published by a not-for-profit press.
