"Dinapiera Di Donato's poetry exhibits a tremendous control of language. . . . She is both ancient and contemporary . . . a vital poet who honors the memory of Octavio Paz."—Victor Hernández Cruz, author of *In the Shadow of Al-Andalus*
These poems were written during days spent clearing river debris while the author was living along the Hudson River in Manhattan. The poems speak of these wanderings in the imaginary landscape of a nomadic subject who erases and rewrites.
**Dinapiera Di Donato** is an award-winning poet and fiction writer, born in Venezuela. She has published several books, including *La Sorda* (poetry) and *La Sonrisa de Bernardo Atxaga* (novel).
