Confessions of a body

And in the ritual of sex and in the rhythm of mating also breathes the primeval breath that gave life to the universe. In Confessions of a Body, in the lovers' encounters and misencounters, in their temptations and ravings, in the daily struggles and in the descents and ascents of passion, "the body is covered with seaweed / [and] a deep breath / embraces it." In Confessions of a Body Zheyla Henriksen gives poetic voice to the eternal rhythm of the universe and to the carnal love that is the mouthpiece of its time. -José Manuel Marrero Henríquez
