Publisher's Synopsis
Penelope, who weaves and unravels while evoking and dreaming, is a clear symbol of the poet, who creating and erasing, recreating and correcting, finally reaches profound depths with the help of an interior dominant voice, or of a providence it's better not to name... The author's hand, visible here as in her other works, becomes particularly dazzling when we see her choosing to draw near words that are not usually contextual, the proximty of which surprises and fascinates. From these choices emerge the symbol-bearings of the work... In any language, the illuminating force and tenderness of her message won't be minor, and we will carry it inside as she carries her Ulysses, to nurture our own dreams and complete the missing half of our identity. Martha L. Canfield From the Preface to the Italian edition of Viajes de Penelope"
