This is Cristina Cortez's second poetry collection and her most personal. Introspective and, at times, tender, the verses flow in unexpected ways, waving and ebbing, up and down, separating one from the next, or using the Cento technic to turn classical pieces into intimate ones. A sense of beautiful uncertainty derives from these poems; and also, a reassurance-that the poet knows what she's doing, and she's guiding the readers through the exact paths she wants them to see.
