    Summary note
    • "Nature's Colloquy with the Word traces Pureza Canelo's exploration of poetry and self in several early volumes: Celda verde (1971), Lugar comun (1971), Elbarco de agua (1974), and Habitable (1978). While proclaiming and irrevocable breach between nature and language, she struggles unceasingly to discover a point of intersection.
    • This goal allies her with poets from Spain's symbolist past, who acknowledge the insufficiency of language yet pursue elusive meaning. Canelo's poetry advances their struggle, since, through a method ecofeminist Carol Bigwood has called "nonlinguistic silent presencing," she is able to finesse an apparent fusion between nature and the word."--Jacket.
