Horse Dance Underwater
Horse Dance Underwater: Poems | Helena Mesa
3 posts | 1 read
Poetry. "'Everything beautiful occurs when the body / is suspended, ' Helena Mesa quotes a performance artist who hangs his own pierced body in the air. Mesa's poems are artfully suspended between lyric and narrative, between humans and animals, between Latin America and the U.S., between desire and the difficulty of its fulfillment. HORSE DANCE UNDERWATER is an inventive, musical, and powerful debut"--Mark Doty

Mehso-so

There were a couple poems in this collection that I loved, and a lot of individual lines that were definitely worth savoring, but as a whole it didn‘t really work for me. Most of the poems seemed unnecessarily obfuscated. Even after reading them 2 or 3 times I had a hard time focusing on a lot of them and extracting meaning.
