El silencio de las horas
Amanda Reverón
Translated from Spanish by Don Cellini
El silencio de las horas arrives in this batch as a Venezuela entry translated from Spanish by Don Cellini, and its title already opens a useful path into the book. I read it through Amanda Reverón’s silence of hours, a Venezuelan lyric space where time feels hushed, suspended, and quietly exacting. That does not mean the book needs to be solved through those three ideas, only that they give a reader somewhere to stand before the language begins moving. What I want from a description here is permission: start with the image, the rhythm, the odd pressure of a phrase. Published by Mayapple Press, the book widens the library’s sense of what contemporary and modern Spanish-language literature can hold.
