They express a metaphysical shift where the laws of heaven and earth are suspended, transformed into a terrain of the journey inward, reflecting a cosmos of the self. The simplicity of these poems never fail to resonate, reflecting a profound investigation of the world on an elemental level. Ruiz-P駻ez's poetry very often reads like the discovery of a formula, an algebra of poetic inquiry that draws together references to Edgar Allen Poe, William Blake, and Alejandra Pizarnik. Deftly translated by poet Mike Soto, these poems express a singular vision of the abundance of the world as well as the void, but in these poems even the void is begged to speak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ignacio Ruiz-P駻ez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1646051297\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781646051298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Phoneme Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/02\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.80w x 0.70d","brand":"Ignacio Ruiz-P駻ez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44068130455807,"sku":"9781646051298","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0378368c-f8d3-4ded-b5bc-cc2f971285b1.jpg?v=1685417210","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/isles-of-firm-ground-ignacio-ruiz-prez-9781646051298","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
