• Blood Dazzler es la apasionada crónica lírica de Patricia Smith sobre una querida ciudad en peligro, una ciudad cuyos habitantes fueron abandonados a su suerte antes que todos nosotros, un pueblo que fue el corazón de nuestro país y la savia de nuestra cultura. Después de la crecida del agua, los vientos y el abandono, después de nuestro fracaso y negligencia, llega esta sinfonía de palabras desde las ruinas: muchas voces, conmovedora, dolorosa y feroz. Es la poesía asumiendo plenamente su tarea.
