Carolina Hospital's new book of poems is a bellwether collection of a woman's encounters with cultural fragmentation and assimilation, violence and recovery, isolation and acceptance, brutality and love. "Hospital's latest collection is a thrilling, important contribution to poetry, as well as Cuban-American literature, and the feminist conversation. Where suffering has occurred, Hospital remembers and honors; one could even say her book is a testament to not forgetting our own painful stories, with poetry acting as a bridge between trauma and healing" (Laura Tivey review in Connotation Press, March 2019
