4.0

"Our national history has nothing in common
With the history of happiness.
Almost all Dominican rulers were gestated with material from the toilet or Hell."

-Aída Cartagena Portolatín

From "Elegy for Elegies" in PRAISES AND OFFENSES: Three Women Poets from the Dominican Republic, translated from the Spanish by Judith Kerman, 2009 by @boaeditions
