Summary:

This large, bilingual collection contains work from more than 20 years of writing, including a small -selection of new work, arranged by themes fundamental to AgosC-n's artistic and critical oeuvre. Her rich Eastern European and Latin American heritage, her experience in exile and her profound humanistic vision accompany the poet as she writes about ancestors, women, children, the poor and the disinherited. Despite the difficult material she examines, AgosC-n expresses a need to -rejoice in life and to believe in the possibility of change. Always searching for life's bare essentials, -often in a spare language that reveals the common threads that unite us all, AgosC-n explores such diverse landscapes "to make beauty and order out of pain and chaos.
