    About this ebook

    Thaw is a book-length sequence of short poems, all ten lines long. Like haiku, at first glance these seem simple meditations on nature that, when given time, open out into a larger reflections on human experience, emotions and how the three interact.
    Nuñez enjoys playing with symbols, allowing images to break out into intellectual puzzles and literary references, and resulting in a sequence that is both shadowy and illuminating, tender and insistent, broad and deeply personal.
    Víctor Rodríguez Núñez has published eleven books of poetry, many of them recipients of literary awards, including Spain's Leonor Prize (2006), Rincón de la Victoria Prize (2010) and Jaime Gil de Biedma Prize (2011). His poems appear in several magazines in the UK and the US, as well as the Arc collection The Infinite's Ash. He is currently an Associate Professor of Spanish at Kenyon College, Ohio.
    Katherine M Hedeen also teaches at Kenyon College, and co-edits (alongside Núñez) the Earthworks Series of Latin American Poetry in Translation for Salt in the UK.
    This title is also available from Amazon as an eBook.
