Thank you, @TucsonStar for this wonderful story!
“We’re important building blocks of scholarship, but I think people are surprised to learn how many of our books are of general interest; books anyone might want to read.”

“Ojo en celo / Eye in Heat is full of paradoxical tensions. Margarita Pintado’s sharp eye is committed to each carefully crafted word and phrase to bring us a poetics of lack and desire. More than just a keen eye, in this book we find a whole sensitive body made of beauties and fragilities.”—Elidio La Torre Lagares, author of Wonderful Wasteland and Other Natural Disasters @AZpress
