Published as part of the bilingual Alta California Chapbook Series. -Alexandra Lytton Regalado Final Judge, Alta California Prize.
She converses with the men and women of her past, and at the center is a twinned self, two Amelias hovering / above the turning earth, that is hungry and ever-present.
Amelia Rodriguez conjures images of sparring hawks, crushed rubies, trees glassed with ice, a snared kite, and other wondrous and unique visions.
The flowing, associative poems of The First Amelia sing with confidence and travel through the veins of memory, family, and the landscapes of Colima.
