Entre los brazos de la neblina / Mariela Tax / 2023
These plainspoken poems thread the realities of one contemporary Maya woman. The poems narrate cultural connection and loss, clap back against racism, linger on haunting mountainous landscapes, and cut through the fog with a clear sweet light in her voice. I found many 5/5 poems in this collection with my favorites being the punchier, longer poems like “la evolucion de mis pasos.” 3 / 5
