"An outpouring of nature that makes us feel the true smoothness of
the seasons, the colors, the fruits, the bodies. Olivia Maciel's
poetry is precise and profound, a motif of eroticism that is
illuminated by the very rays of the sun spread upon each
verse."--Elena Poniatowska (10/1/2005 12:00:00 AM)
"The poetry of Olivia Maciel is profound and complex, moving and
tender. It speaks to us of what poetry ought to speak: love,
indifference, and nostalgia. This is poetry to read in a quiet
voice and meditate upon, a distinct and distinguished voice in the
poetry of the Americas."--Marjorie Agosín, author of The Light of
Desire (10/1/2005 12:00:00 AM)
"Loaded with symbolism and allegorical content. . . . The search
for what's fleeting, the capture of elusive moments, the glance
toward the point where these make contact with the solidity of the
earth: all these elements reappear in the verses of Maciel with
sufficient tenacity to convert them, or almost, into a complete
poetics."--Jorge Frisancho "ContraTiempo" (12/1/2005 12:00:00
AM)
"Like a photograph revealed in developing solution, beneath the
secret of red light, the poetic countenance of Maciel gradually
appears and is configured with great clarity in her most recent
book, Sombra en plata / Shadow in Silver."--Alan E. Smith "Sirena"
(11/1/2010 12:00:00 AM)
"This faithful bilingual edition teems with sensual metaphor and
arresting imagery."--Salwa Jabado "Criticas" (3/1/2006 12:00:00 AM)
