Rossy Lima offers us a migration and migrant metaphysics, a river of personal and collective speakers, a labyrinth of voices, a woman serpent, of skulls and coyotes, an ongoing conjure of voices and lives of limbs and multi-tracks of birth-death, of borders and borderlessness. This is a prism of outside-inside, in-between, an always shifting set of reassessments—re-castings, memory and forecast—the elixir and poison of migrant exile without exile. Notice the urgent notes in this collection—perhaps in the timbres of a border mermaid, a skinned figure, almost formless, Cortazar’s axolotl, a half-amphibian, half human, a migrant existence, always in rapid, unknowable, transparent, brutal change. A magnificent set of poems, in a most appropriate time. Lima is a lyrical warrior crossing.

Rossy Evelin Lima writes over a rock with delicate water traces. Her poetry evaporates but only to turn into a cloud and sing like rain. In this manner, the poet gives us to drink that strange liquid time that is the poem, and invites us to accompany her in her journey, a journey of stones rounded by the strength of her spirit.

Poetry calls for understanding and vision; in her work, the poet Lima proves her worth on both counts, understanding and dominating the material. Her poetic vision is clear, unadulterated, and, just as important, focused. I read her poems aloud and discovered a new voice in Hispanic literature.
-Rolando Hinojosa Smith, Mexican-American Writer and Critic

Los textos de Rossy Lima se apoderan de una temática fronteriza, y establecen no sólo un canto de denuncia, sino de ancha solidaridad. La autora no pretende asumir la voz de comunidades enteras pero sabe sí que al iluminar tan dolorosas realidades surge otra forma de conocimiento, de posibilidad de aproximaciones solidarias, de gestación de nuevas opciones esteticas.
-Saúl Ibargoyen, Uruguayan Writer
