| Summary |
"The Infinite Loop/El lazo infinito is a book about pain, love, and hope. The poetic voice bets on an inalienable will to strive for better. Gonzalez chooses the symbol of the infinite loop that, through a dynamic of cause and effect, makes her aware of her own journey. With the agility of her compelling poetic forms, The Infinite Lopp is built from an intimacy that expands toward universal inquiries. Gonzales has said that the publication of this book through the Paz Prize for Poetry is 'a happy event because it introduces me to a wider audience'"--Back cover. |
