This bilingual (Spanish and English) book of poems is about home and notions of home and different kinds of self-portraiture. Among the poems in the collection is a sequence on Albrecht Dürer’s self-portraits that meditates on how we see and interpret the world and how we fashion images of ourselves for others.
