The Telaraña Circuit

Author: Lucía Hinojosa Gaxiola

Publisher: Tender Buttons Press (2023)

The Telaraña Circuit is Lucía Hinojosa Gaxiola’s first book of poems, a deeply felt and sustained investigative thought-web of material and immaterial memory. Through different sectional lenses, she constructs a poetic portrait of her aunt who was, aptly, an archeologist. In this, she creates a series of visual and sonic poem-glyphs that score archaeologies of personal and cultural memory, where each cycle spins and sings new registers of connective depth. This bilingual text blossoms into a mesh of charged, fractal elements: each line or “fragment” imbued with the full presence of the whole.
