Water House

An incredible accomplishment

"Woven with voyages, ovens, and water-water, Ivonne Gordon examines and flows in and out of love's bodies of "tiempo fosforescente," phosphorescent time and solitude. Each poem is caught in currents and moments of astral montages, the possibility of miracles, a task cascading between nothingness and desire. All these things are palpable, they can be shaped on a kitchen table and paradoxically all is water-like, held up by constant change and impermanence. This is a text of wisdom, a sea-green collection of questions that slip between your fingers as if you were holding the starry ocean glimmers of love, the brush of timelessness, a leaping wave appearing and disappearing. An incredible accomplishment of art, philosophy and music in every line – Bravo!"

—Juan Felipe Herrera, Poet Laureate of the United States, Emeritus
