Matria - Alexandra Regalado - Bog

" Truly remarkable poetry draws new connections between the emotional, physical, and psychological landscapes our lives move through. This is especially true of Matria, a stunning collection by Alexandra Lytton Regalado, who moves us among and between the intersections of motherhood and childhood, womanhood and country-hood. With arresting language full of grace and empathy, these poems dimension the fluidity and complexity of these relationships as both witness and the witnessed, mother and child, native and foreigner, in both English and Spanish." -- Richard Blanco
