Norwegian Salmon & Mayonnaise (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798243670067)

Norwegian Salmon & Mayonnaise is a contemporary poetry collection by Dolores de Alma Blanca that explores visibility, embodiment, and emotional endurance.

Born into silence, the poetic voice at the center of this collection learns early that to be seen is also to be exposed. Attempts at disappearance fail; the body insists on being read, misread, and consumed. What follows is not revelation or recovery, but accumulation-emotion layered through repetition, habit, and survival.

These poems trace an unstable, emulsified interior life: raw, intimate, and held together by proximity rather than resolution. Identity does not solidify here; it spreads. Strength is questioned, transformation resisted. What remains is residue-alive, persistent, and costly.

Written in sharp, restrained language, Norwegian Salmon & Mayonnaise offers an unflinching examination of the body as site, surface, and material. This collection will resonate with readers of modern and experimental poetry who are drawn to work that engages vulnerability, power, and the uneasy textures of lived experience.

Dolores de Alma Blanca's other collections include The Poems of the Poet Laureate, Where Time Folds, No Grime on My Soul, and The Psychopompos & Other Poems.
