They express a metaphysical shift where the laws of heaven and earth are suspended, transformed into a terrain of the journey inward, reflecting a cosmos of the self.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe simplicity of these poems never fails to resonate, reflecting a profound investigation of the world on an elemental level. Ruiz-Perez's poetry very often reads like the discovery of a formula, an algebra of poetic inquiry that draws together references to Edgar Allen Poe, William Blake, and Alejandra Pizarnik.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDeftly translated by poet Mike Soto, these poems express a singular vision of the abundance of the world as well as the void, but in these poems even the void is begged to speak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46868960477420,"sku":"9781646051298","price":34.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/1331523482774.jpg?v=1759778276","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/isles-of-firm-ground-by-ignacio-ruiz-prez-9781646051298","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
