The Lust of Unsentimental Waters (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781848612334)

"Rosa Alcalá's poems dwell in the liminal space between the personal and the political: poems built on the idea that 'the world exists, ' and that work to define the metaphysical and ephemeral architectures of origin, migration, nationalism, and loss. Rosa Alcala is uncompromising, wry, and brutal: all of the qualities that significant poetic works of cultural criticism require." -Carmen Gimenez Smith
