Happy National Poetry Month! Let’s celebrate with the release of my debut poetry book, Hourglass, available for pre-order now from Dancing Girl Press & Studio, an indie press and design studio based in Chicago! Hourglass is part of the Dancing Girl Press Chapbook Series, an imprint devoted to publishing innovative writing by women authors.
Cover Artist: Gianna Nathan
Hourglass gives testimony to the passage of time, from a woman’s perspective, in a Spanglish voice.
Intimate and delicate, Guizado’s collection Hourglass paints vivid scenes of family life, with poems steeped in the sensory and works that speak of the natural world and a natural life. Mircopoems interspersed throughout the collection offer quiet meditations and counterpoints to moments and objects laden with memory. This is a journey the reader takes inward and through, as she joins the speaker in the grappling of love, loss and letting go.
