Publisher's Synopsis
Outside Texts names silence with subtlety and translates the edge of verbs in constant unfolding. It conjugates the experience of the outside along with the most intimate aspects of the self, bringing us closer to the absolute being of the word, a being named from within to give the world meaning through tenderness. Requena writes poetry of the deepest honesty, an honesty made into words that make us live and resist. - Oriette D'Angelo
