María Baranda - To Hell

From the book Nightmare Running on a Meadow of Absolute Light, out of Shearsman Books tr. by Paul Hoover

This reading and discussion of Baranda’s poem “To Hell,” also offers my thoughts around longer poems, my attempts at deciphering the ways in which to engage a longer poem, and what type of poem this is.

Thanks for reading Riantly, or with Laughter! This post is public so feel free to share it.
