Description

Graceline is a collection of poems inspired by Jane Duran's journey from New York to Chile as a young girl. Her travels along the Santa Barbara, passing through the Panama Canal and down the Pacific coast of Latin America, have shaped her meditative poetry.

The poems in Graceline explore the intersection of illusion and reality, past and present, evoking the extraordinary landscapes of Chile while also delving into darker undercurrents. They touch on themes such as the construction of the Panama Canal and the regime of Pinochet, weaving together cityscapes, landscapes, and allusions to the cruelties and bereavements of that time.

Through her poetry, Duran conveys a powerful feeling of love for Chile and its impact on her life. This collection offers a unique perspective on the country's landscapes and the experiences of a young girl growing up there.
