Hospitium by Alissa Valles, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Here are poems of a ruthless lyric precision, of \"intelligence/ quickened/ by vulnerability.\" Such a vulnerability lies in the fact that, in some languages, the word for \"host\" and the word for \"guest\" have the same root, audible in this book's title. In a postmodern world, host and guest are both \"permanently temporary,\" and therefore they must depend on each other, across countries, cultures and languages. | Hospitium by Alissa Valles, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
