"Vulnerable, tender, acute, these are serious poems, brave poems, exploring with honesty the ambiguous moment between the rapture of youth and the grace of acceptance. A daughter tends to aging parents. A woman struggles with infertility--"What if, instead of carrying / a child, I am supposed to carry grief?"--And a body seized by pain and vertigo as well as ecstasy. A nation convulses: "Every song of this country / has an unsung third stanza, something...

Considered by many to be among some of the greatest love poetry ever written much debate surrounds the context of the poetry. It has been suggested that the work may be semi-autobiographical but no real evidence firmly supports this notion.

7) Agony

English
Description
Agony is the first in a trilogy of long confessional poems. It uses semi-rigorous mathematical and logical constraints to view the author's life and body, telescopically, as little bits of time and space. Everything written here is as true as possible – that is to say, pretty true. It attempts autobiography as a refutation of autobiography, and an elevation of the self as self-effacement. Love pops up as a theme quite a bit. So does self-mutilation,...

He fracasado millones de veces intentando escapar de mis demonios. Lo único que conseguía era gastar energía y no avanzar ni llegar a superarlos. Aunque duela escribir sobre algo que un día me hizo daño, eso me ha permitido llegar a soportarlo, llegar a aceptarlo. Ahora tengo la palabra "valiente" grabada en mí. No sabéis el gusto que da explotar. Aunque dé pudor. Es la mejor manera de reconstruirse. Ojalá no tengas mis demonios ni vivas...
