Tela de sevoya, by Myriam Moscona, is a Spanish poetry collection from Mexico, translated by Jen Hofer, John Pluecker, published by Les Figues in 2017. It is a Mexican collection by Myriam Moscona, translated by Jen Hofer and John Pluecker, with the layered feel of fabric and memory. Moscona’s work often thinks across languages and inheritances, letting texture become a way to touch what history has folded. I would not approach it as a book that needs to be solved before it can begin working. Start with the title, the pressure of the translated line, and the feeling of a voice making room for itself in English. The value here is not just metadata or representation. It is the chance to let a particular book create its own weather, its own difficulty, and its own way of asking the reader to listen.
