Book synopsis

Salt Oracle is a collection of poems about the earth, the home, and the ancestral memory of the human body. It celebrates the connection of that body with the contents of its environment-with the body's movement and grace; with food that unfolds into generational tales; and with the dreams that, like memory, bridge the divide of human existence.

Estrellas de mar

La espuma salada del mar

crece en las manos

humedeciendo los huesos ancestrales de mi especie.

Las manos se convierten

en el templo del rito sagrado,

ese rito que cada día lo repito

como si fuera un rito

que me devuelve la gracia

Starfish

The salty foam of the sea

grows in my hands

and dampens my ancestral bones.

My hands become a temple

for that sacred ritual

that I repeat daily

as if it were a rite

that returns me to grace

La mirada del águila

Sus ojos hablan el lenguaje de otros mundos,

los silencios eternos se hacen presentes

en el ave de la magia y del presagio

que aparece detrás del vidrio.

The Eagle's Gaze

Its eyes speak the language of other worlds;

the eternal silences emerge

in the bird of magic and prophecy

that appears behind the glass.
