Hatchet / Hamartia

Hatchet / Hamartia

Author(s): Carmen Boullosa

Location(s): Mexico

Genre(s): Poetry

Era(s): Modern

A bilingual poetry collection in which a microwave, a fly, a soup, a football match, a train, or a child in the subway serve as pretexts to explain the tragic nature of life when death is involved. One with strong personality and the double capacity of playing with language and using it as a mirror of the Mexican reality, sometimes violent, with memorable lines and reflections of great depth.
