The Oval Hour: Poems (Iowa Poetry Prize) by Kathleen Peirce
Synopses & Reviews Publisher Comments: In The Oval Hour Kathleen Peirce addresses the vulnerability of language — which is to say the vulnerability of our reality — when we are in extreme states of desire and loss, especially erotic desire and erotic loss. Central to the book is its series of "Confessions, " twenty formally similar poems that contend with the Confessions of Saint Augustine. "Passing through innocence, I came either to experience / or guilt, or they came to me, displacing innocence": these luminous poems explore the generation and overlapping of carnal and metaphysical identities.

La Peirce es gordita, suave...se diría de algodón. No encuentro nada traducido.
En cuanto a "La hora oval" del señor Lerín, está en lista de espera.
Cuando hayan sido leídos una y otro, hablamos.
Para los que sí saben pero no conocen a Katy:

(Por si ayuda en algo...)
Duplica
el tiempo y la geometría
y el asombro.
¿ Podría ser la semimona, el primate en la hornacina?
De ser así
aumenta al trino.
No entendía sus escritos, pequeño saltamontes...pero vi a la semimona en la oscuridad. Ahora me disculpo más aún.
A veces no doy una...
