Ritual of Burning Flesh / Maribel Arreola Rivas
Poetry is one of the best forms of celebration and ritual, of harmony with what exists and dialogue with what is; all the more so when it has Eros and Aphrodite as its subjects. Maribel (sea of skin) invites us through these leaves of her erotic tree to her intimate coven where she invokes pagan forces that we all know at least once in a while.
Maribel Arreola helps to keep opening the many paths that are necessary for the full rights of women to that which should never have been taken from them: pleasure and speech, the pleasure of speech, the speech of pleasure.
Ritual of Burning Flesh / Ritual de la carne en llamas, bilingual edition, is the ninth poetry book of Darklight's Bridges Series, which intends to connect two different cultures and languages that nevertheless share universal artistic values.
