WHILE LIGHT IS BUILT

Poetry. Translated from the Spanish by Wendy Burk. "We hear a subtle call and response in Tedi's work. Private event and history and the sensual world prompt each other and choir to suggest not predictable epiphanies, but a congeries of provocative ambiguity that only coheres between light and the trace of a gesture...the falling and rising rhythms of death and desire...I've been waiting hungrily for this moment and whether or not you know it yet, you have too"--Forrest Gander. Tedi Lopez Mills is a poet, essayist and translator who was born in Mexico City.
