Like the Night Inside the Eyes is a memoir-in-poems about loss and family interwoven with similes from the Iliad, each bearing witness to the continuousness of the world with forces that unmake it. In this book, translated from Spanish by Robin Myers, Daniel Lipara harmonizes the lyric and the epic-- the personal and the impersonal-- as he tunes into the cosmic harmony between creation and destruction-- or what Lipara refers to as the " song of the glimmer," the glimmer of the eye and the black hole in the eye, which widens in darkness, letting in light.
