The torrential inputs of sensations, forms of matter, literary references, and ecologies of being that feed Mijares’ practice have come pouring out in a violent wave. As a poet, Mijares’ skill of holding a sparse page with potency is captivating. Mijares uses mimesis to move through worlds and push readers into ripples of quiet overwhelm. Her work reaches towards a tangle of words caught in the throat, conjured up by waves of experiential inputs ranging from earthworms to the interstate. This collection is a celebration of interrelationships delicately crafted on the page.
