Poetry. Spanish Language Edition. "En LLAMAR AL AGUA POR SU NOMBRE, encontramos textos de un vaivén inusual, que penetran a partir de la fragmentación para llegar a otra manera de ver. Son parte de lo que nombran, resuelven aquello que describen, se derraman, se rehacen y se nutren de sí mismos. La creatividad es liberada sensualmente con formas marinas. Como contraparte, en la segunda parte del libro, 'Del otro lado de la lluvia,' aparecen poemas breves, sólidos, de una contundencia conceptual y simbólica que asombran. Pequeños trazos de significaciones que, en apariencia descolocadas o caprichosas, colocan su dardo. Poemas terrestres de aliento suspensivo."—Laura Solórzano

Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. Translated from the Spanish by Scott Spanbauer. "Into orange blossoms, dancing castanets, clouding sandscapes, Laura Cesarco Eglin weaves dreamy memories of a rioplatense childhood and a maturing poet's understanding of language's ability to make, unmake, and remake the world. While 'all that remains of the sand / is the word handful,' Cesarco Eglin keeps language fresh—woodsing, outjugated, underbay—and her imaginative leaps teach us 'how to live our death' and how to live with insistent longing: 'Rewinding moments / in the shadow of later because / when I say enough it's already gone.' Through Scott Spanbauer's deft and daring translations, English speakers now have a chance to experience one of Uruguay's loveliest emerging voices."—Ron Salutsky

Llamar al agua por su nombre/Calling Water by Its Name

Occasions to Call Miracles Appropriate is deep-image memory-work, "the aperture eyelid between dream and awake, in the threshold conjuring." Here is a language of personal address and verbal nouns: persons, places, and things converge with pliant reflexivity.
A multilingual and transnational poet, Laura Cesarco Eglin's verse toes the line between the casual and the crystalline, a trick impelled by lucidity of image. These occasions interrogate linguistic boundaries embedded in everyday encounter, and represent her first collection originally composed in English.
