“Opening this book to any of its poems will sweep the imagination into the poet’s creation, and its reviewer’s lips will burn for hundreds of kisses.”

—Rich Murphy, author of Voyeur and judge for the 2009 Gival Press Poetry Award

"In this remarkable collection of poems, Cecilia Martinez-Gil deftly sketches the genome of human written expression, tracing our creative journey from ancient times to modern places. The cave walls of the past, the blank pages of the present and the digital bytes of the future are, like moth and flame, the siren calls of our imagination."

“My
mother tongue is not my language
for my native voice
is the poetic texture of my being.”

(from “lexis of emotions”,p. 51)
