In What Haunts Me the Most, Chimen Kouri crafts explosive verses. Intention is elusive, to fully understand her meaning you must read again, read between her words, asking yourself what her words mean, what does she want from you? Kouri’s poems force readers to slow down and consider her experiences. Why has she written this? What is the truth hidden in this phrase? To read Chimen Kouri’s poems is to interrogate experience and consider our most basic purpose here, to bring meaning to this world. (ARC generously provided by Querencia Press)
