Poetry. Latino/Latino Studies. "The word 'cosmopolitan' has
unfortunately come to connote a kind of haughty (perhaps affected)
sophistication, so some other adjective is needed to convey the
unusual combination of worldliness and immediacy that pulses in Ms.
Griffor's poems. While she is capable of acknowledging and
dramatizing ghastly geopolitical realities with stark veracity, she
always--yes, always--approaches the momentous historical
complexities she is uniquely situated to describe with a tenderness
most people (including most poets) can only summon for their home
life. Indeed, Mariela Griffor is entirely at home in the world at
large, and in her poems she chronicles an unbroken continuum from
her closest familial and companionable relationships to the hazards
of true citizenship in our gigantic globalized society. I would say
that Mariela Griffor has a sacramental sense of artistic vocation.
She is dedicated, intellectually penetrating, and endlessly
curious"--Jim Schley.
