Sinopsis

AUTHOR OF AWARD-WINNINGáI WAS A BELLM. Soledad Caballero explores the complexities of the body, delving into themes such as cancer, memory, and love in a lyrical collection of poems you wonâÇÖt want to miss.'This stunning book is an elegy for the body before, an ode for the body after.'-Carmen Giménez, author of Be Recorder'Masterfully uses visceral language and vivid imagery to hold space for both sorrow and hope, beauty and pain, the light and the dark, the water and the land.'-Jasminne Mendez, author of City Without AltarIn this inventive collection, cancer transforms the body, art ignites healing, and faith is a restless vexation.Flight Planácharts the trajectories of bodies and birds, navigating the dynamic interplay of past, present, and what happens in the in-between. These lyrical poems map the aftermaths of cancer, the varied routes of migration, and the geographies of memory. They document stories of love and its legacies, personal, familial, and national. They reject reductive diagnoses and soar and hunt with birds of prey. In this inventive collection, cancer transforms the body, art ignites healing, and faith is a restless vexation. M. Soledad Caballero urges us to remember that womenâÇÖs aging bodies are evocative, that disease is a hungry creature, and that the interstices of blood and flesh are universes teeming with possibility.
