and invocations, translated by Franciso X. Alarcón, as well as some of his originals.

I'll explain that I was reading a study of Sylvia Plath's work bathed in subterranean psychic excavation, and I'll bookend it with the title of a cute little country song I may one day write if I ever move to Nashville.
