Gabriela Cabezón Cámara’s writing is singular in the Spanish language: an intrepid pulse that shakes and disarms us in the face of the wordless power, both formidable and innocent, of the jungle and the creatures it portrays -- Fernanda Melchor So sharp, so urgent, so brave. Gabriela Cabezón Cámara is one of the most authentic voices writing in Spanish today, and among her many talents is one that's especially hard to find: not only does she challenge and incite us, not only does she confront the darkness, but she also gives us in return the subversive courage to think of ourselves as more human, more alive, and more luminous than ever -- Samanta Schweblin ""Cabezón Cámara’s entrancing poetry reminds us how magical and frankly unpleasant it is to live through history * New York Times * This is the truth of Gabriela Cabezón Cámara's literature: it's capable of questioning the very conception of the Western world through beauty. -- Brenda Navarro
