Praise for The Magnetic Brackets

"The Magnetic Brackets is one of the liveliest and truest poetical testaments that a reader can tackle in these times of disbelief, of half-truths, of vacuity and passivity in thought. For this is one more gift from the book: where thought and feeling are perfectly merged."

—Antonio Colinas
