All written in response to different films, the poems in Claudia Masin's Intact are concerned with desire, love, suffering, and the stories we tell ourselves about the meaning forged from loss. Expansive, graceful, and incisive, Masin's poems delve into sensory experience to explore, in her words, "the infinite capacity for transformation of whatever is touched by an intense desire" - and the mark left by grief, which is a transformation in itself. Ultimately, Intact is a call to wonderment and vitality from one of Argentina's most beloved contemporary poets.
