El Bilingual Catarsis - Paperback

by Wendy S. Avilés (Author)

this is not any project, a security

conflict to be resolved. no working

paper, just working on paper,

nurturing the unsaid until it stops

resisting.

El Bilingual Catarsis is a love letter to both the English and Spanish languages. In her debut poetry collection, Wendy Avilés manipulates language as she sees fit-not what is deemed "correct." She masterfully sculpts English and Spanish to depict the worries, hopes, and dreams of a college student living between Santo Domingo and Atlanta, Georgia.

Bilingual readers will thrill by the author's grasp of the languages, but readers of either language will enjoy Avilés's succinct imagery, innovative poetic structures, and thoughtful wordplay.
