Description
Hilos is a poem that strips away its nature to explore the thinking and feeling, the processes of the mind and experiences such as vertigo, fear, fatigue or wakefulness. It delves into all the fragments of the self, its depths and mechanisms, places and images, which only gain meaning through the threads that connect them.
The book combines variations around a theme with standalone poems, grouped under a title that brings them together. This poem takes poetry to its most bare-bones conclusion. Hilos is followed by another poem collection, Cual, where the word in the title is used in different ways, even as a subject for poetry.
Together, Hilos and Cual cover a wide range of experience, from the self as a mere breath at the edge of sleep to the world outside. Along these pages, Chantal Maillard gradually draws back the veil to reveal the air, light and otherness that lies beyond.
