Description

In O me voy o te vas / One of us must go, love is a powerful magnet that attracts and repels in equal measure. In this lyrical collection, Rogelio Guedea (with English translations by Roger Hickin) examines what it means to share one's life with another person and questions whether - and how - love can survive reality's steady tap-drip repetitions.
