You Bring Me Wings / Me Traes Alas

This book is a refreshing approach to the dialogue between cultures as it presents Canadian and Mexican reality through the poetic eyes of Patricia Keeney and Ethel Krauze.
You Bring Wings is divided into three sections, “Love”, “Female Friends”, and “Other Worlds”. Each begins with a conversation between the two poets and is followed by a selection of poems, complementary to the topic of conversation, from previous collections published by each poet. |

In the words of poet and critic Eva Thihanyi, here is : |

"Finally a book that presents talking an poetry as a partnership; that dares to embrace its own subjectivity; that mixes the personal and the political and the poetic into one delicious stew! Women's ingredients blended into a woman's art. I feast happily." |
