Los Dioses S Hablan

Heaviness.

Time nullifies the present,

it poisons future words.

Actions repeat themselves:

I breathe the same air,

the same place

the same memories.

Heaviness.

In Los dioses s hablan (The Gods, in Truth, Speak), Claudia Quackenbush voices her encapsulated feelings and experiences that she has enjoyed since her marital romance-maternal expressions, sociopolitical thoughts, even her intimate memories, sending the reader to a world of love which breaks barriers and envelops time. Through her poems, one can envision a love for God and nature, peace, optimism, nostalgia, illusions, desire, as well as memories, all viewed through a novel expression of poetry that for the author:

is the conceptual image that

produces desire

and thrusts creativity and life forward.

Quackenbush's poems are verses that seek to develop our:

dreams,

intellect,

illusions,

sensations,

a sense of longing.
