Supersaturated. Distilled. Belen explores the connective tissues of experience\u2014the space between moments, the silence between sounds. This bilingual collection traces the arc of her poetry through certain themes central to her work: the extraordinary in the ordinary, the magic of memory (both voluntary and involuntary), and what it means to exist \u201cin between.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.anomalouspress.org\/catalog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/978-1-939781-38-3.jpg\")

This book-length poem is baptized by queer loss and losing. Each section deifies lost cuir\/queer loves, closing the distance between deity (queer icon) and fam. The book delves into the (im) possibility of building between lo cuir boricua and the queerness of being boricua in the diaspora. It invites the reader to \u201clearn to tell the difference between our love and theirs,\u201d and to see, in this difference, a way forward.\u00a0

Find here an indirect elegy for love, the scent of wait, and restlessness of the centuries old soul, in paradoxically calm and alien language accentuating incoherence and brokenness. Socio-cultural heat, engagement with world poetry and cinema, and the poet\u2019s force of individuality create a linguistic polyphony among tensions of memory, language, emotions, and identity with lyrical calm.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.anomalouspress.org\/catalog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/978-1-939781-43-7.jpg\")
