Sor Juana
Winner of the Alta California Chapbook Prize
Now available from Gunpowder Press
Sor Juana reveals an exquisite alchemy—the provocative life and death of the baroque master, but also the speaker’s own “inherited trauma” as “a child of [a] dictatorship,” which follows her into exile, prompting: “This is the heart of the wound.” The artistry here is replete with skill and grace. “History wedges itself / inside four syllables”—the thesis of this breathtaking book-length poem.
—Francisco Aragón, Final Judge, Alta California Prize
