Versión

A book of poems first published in 1978 and reissued in 2005, with sections such as 'Nocturne' and 'Ink of Desires'. Its units are the image and the sentence: images that do not strike but seed the lines and set off chain reactions, catching things by their edges until they shine. While each poem lasts, memory and desire swell at its borders, and the poem hollows out a place where living may be worth the trouble.
