Here, in her first ever English-language collection, Fontela’s poetry continues to defy easy categorization. In these concise, meditative poems, Fontela’s bird and flower, water and stone, blood and star can be read as symbols, indicating a possible tendency toward mysticism. Including an illuminating statement of poetics and excerpts from her often acerbic interviews, \u003cem\u003eOne Impossible Step\u003c\/em\u003e introduces English-language audiences to an iconoclast who remains one across languages and decades.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nightboat Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40522454859859,"sku":"9781643621555","price":18.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781643621555.jpg?v=1779940861","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/one-impossible-step-selected-poems","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
