• 'Everything beautiful occurs when the body / is suspended,' Helena Mesa quotes a performance artist who hangs his own pierced body in the air. Mesa's poems are artfully suspended between lyric and narrative, between humans and animals, between Latin America and the U.S., between desire and the difficulty of its fulfillment. Horse Dance Underwater is an inventive, musical, and powerful debut.

• The way in which men cling to old institutions after the life has departed out of them, and out of themselves, reminds me of those monkeys which cling by their tails - aye, whose tails contract about the limbs, even the dead limbs, of the forest, and they hang suspended beyond the hunter's reach long after they are dead. It is of no use to argue with such men. They have not an apprehensive intellect, but merely, as it were a prehensile tail.

• El que sobrevive a una esposa a la que ha amado durante mucho tiempo, se ve separado de la única mente que tiene las mismas esperanzas, temores e intereses; de la única compañera con la que ha compartido mucho bien y mucho mal, y con la que podía poner su mente en libertad para rememorar el pasado o anticipar el futuro. La continuidad del ser está lacerada; el curso establecido del sentimiento y la acción está detenido; y la vida está suspendida e inmóvil.

• And hate the bright stillness of the noon without wind, without motion. the only other living thing a hawk, hungry for prey, suspended in the blinding, sunlit blue. And yet how gentle it seems to someone raised in a landscape short of rain- the skyline of a hill broken by no more trees than one can count, the grass, the empty sky, the wish for water.

• I stood within the city disinterred;
  And heard the autumnal leaves like light footfalls
  Of spirits passng through the streets;
  and heard the Mountain's slumberous voice at intervals
  Thrill through those roofless halls;
  The oracular thunder penetrating shook
  The listening soul in my suspended blood.

• A man is the sum of his ancestors; to reform him you must begin with a dead ape and work downward through a million graves. He is like the lower end of a suspended chain; you can sway him slightly to the right or the left, but remove your hand and he falls into line with the other links.
