The Habit of Buenos Aires

By Lorraine Healy

Poetry. "Her painful evocations of Argentina during the dirty war (she grew up in Buenos Aires), her re-creations of Irish history (where her maternal ancestors lived and died), her tender poems of love and family, her acute eye for detail and her mind for clarity, her powerful, sensuous and humane imagination, her language full of surprises, make Lorraine Healy one of the finest emerging poets I know. Yes, the personal is the political--and the political is the personal. When I read THE HABIT OF BUENOS AIRES I feel this deep in my bones, and with deep gratitude"--Alicia Ostriker
