Bücher von Elena Rivera

Epic Series brings together three long poems by Elena Rivera previously published in small press limited editions. These poems delve into the complexities of becoming and into what it means to be from more than one world, where memories, languages and stories are carried and swallowed up by much larger histories.

In The Perforated Map, Elena Rivera's guide is language as she attempts to navigate the distances, the disturbances, the suggestions, the mistakes, the perforations. In these poems, language is the map, the matter that fills/affects the body, the organizing principle between the self and the world, and the forms that it gives rise to.
