by Margarita Saona (Author)

Corazón de hojalata recoge poemas escritos desde la experiencia del fallo cardiaco, la cirugía, la cercanía de la muerte, un transplante de corazón y otras situaciones extremas. Margarita Saona confronta el dolor, la alienación, el amor y la otredad impuestas por el cuerpo enfermo desde un lenguaje en el que la intensidad, las imágenes y el ritmo no toman distancia de la cotidianidad de las palabras Tin Heart brings together a series of poems born out the experience of cardiac failure, surgery, the proximity of death, a heart transplant, and other extreme situations. Margarita Saona confronts the pain, alienation, love, and otherness imposed by an infirm body with a language in which intensity, imagery, and rhythm do not detract from the simplicity of everyday words.
