Mi Madre Encendio Un Volcan Ella Sola [Spanish]

By Diana Agámez

My Mother Lit a Volcano All by Herself explores the bonds between mother and daughter when mental illness strikes and disrupts everything. In the first part, the poetic voice accompanies us from the center of pain, without disguising the exhaustion, fatigue, and discomfort involved in caring and being cared for, but also allowing itself to rescue flashes of beauty, moments of freshness and light that emerge in the night of illness. These poems maintain, with tenderness and harshness, that no one can replace the will of the one who suffers. Not even a daughter. In the second part, the collection moves toward an awareness of loss and search. This time, the daughter leaves signs of her passage through Ciudad Juárez, Mexico: clues barely audible to the mother that represent the desire to dialogue with women who were victims of femicide in Juárez and in many other places around the world. Thus, Diana Agámez's collection of poems combines two closely linked dimensions: mental health and violence, care and disappearance, tenderness and denunciation. Love and memory.
