Amanda Berenguer
Bilingual edition
Translated by Anna Deeny Morales
The apple, the peach, the orange, the quince — twenty-five fruits on the table in twenty-nine poems.
Blazing slices
and ashes of what darkness
roam my mouth:
they’re found in woods at midnight
with pleasure’s thieves
an acidic apparition
and terror that from a distance hounds.
from “III ( the orange )”
“Amanda Berenguer’s Identity of Certain Fruits constitutes a voluptuous wake manifested in the sensual contours of language, the dancing tongue, vowels in movement against consonants, our soft curving mouths. Delight faces death: we are consoled and moved forward by the delicious materiality of desire, the pleasurable and painful knowledge of sound” — Anna Deeny Morales
