Each poem in this chasm is a leap into the void, an exploration of the darkest corners of the soul. Through images that ...

En “Un abismo de cuerpos rotos”, Luis Ángel Cobos nos presenta una obra poética que atraviesa los paisajes devastados de la humanidad, un compendio de versos que vibran con crudeza y profundidad.

This groundbreaking Jamaican narrative poem takes on history, faith, sex, and poetry itself. As 24-hour television - belching out the swaggering voices of American hellfire preachers - competes with dancehall, slackness, and ganja for Jamaican minds, Clarice and Thalbot preach their own conflicting visions. Clarice's visions give her power; Thalbot is at the mercy of every wandering spirit. But when Clarice, under the cover of darkness, 'sins' on the beach, Thalbot alone knows of her fall. He sets out to journey to denounce the prophetess and warn the Ninevite city of its coming doom.
