cristalina parra
tambaleos
My first poetry book, Tamabelos (2021), published with Editorial Planeta in Santiago, Chile, centers on grief by exploring intergenerational experience, temporality, distance, and heritage. Written in Abu Dhabi while thinking about Santiago, Tambaleos sutures the landscapes of Latin America and the Arab world to discuss my grandfather's death.
English versions of poems in Tambaleos are by Julian Buñuelos and can be found in Latin American Literature Today, The Hopkins Review, Asymptote Journal, and Copihue Poetry.
