Anamaría Crowe Serrano’s intriguing experimental work pushes the boundaries of the poetic form in ways that invigorate and challenge readers to accompany her as she guides us through this garden of delights. With alternating pitch-perfect insight, deadpan humour and wit, Crunch revives old myths and breathes new life into deeply philosophical themes – the dynamics of knowledge and power, the nature of the self. In 2018, María Reimóndez translated Crunch into Galician. Ñam, published by Malinche Books, was launched at the Poema Ria Festival, Vigo that year. A daring and exciting work.

Description

Crunch apple poem“An heroic tale, the core of that old telling of Eve and Adam, with all the elements of a great story: desire, conflict, retribution…In this ‘memory of the garden’ Anamaría Crowe Serrano takes a bite out of life with a taunting sequence of poems that are intelligent and visceral, ‘the fruit in her smile/saying it all.’ “
