recognized as one of the most important Mexican poets alive today. =

writing is a complex interweaving of personal and family memory. =

Gerwitz's work, reflecting her place within Mexico's displaced =

Eastern European Jewish community, tells stories that are profoundly =

Mexican as well as American, and that are ultimately about =

resolution. Mark Schafer has given us an English translation that has =
