From one of Colombia’s most innovative contemporary poets, Pink Tongue Out, Blind Cat is filled with sinuous verses on the human experience told with a cadence usually found only in music.
In María Paz Guerrero’s Pink Tongue Out, Blind Cat, unnamed bodies are cut open in search of disease, legs buckle and collapse under pressure, and a blind cat stalks its way through the collection, bumping into unseen objects along the way. María Paz Guerrero’s poetry collection is both experimental and lyrical, drawing readers into its eerily clipped, ever beguiling rhythm.
