From Mexican-born poet Dolores Dorantes, Copy is a book-length
prose poem examining extrication, refuge, and reintegration,
presented in English for the first time by award-winning translator
Robin Meyers. Through deconstructed dictionary entries and
powerfully syncopated, recursive texts, Copy is a prose poem
sequence that insinuates an experience of violent removal: a
person's disappearance from a country, from normal life, and
forcible reintegration into a new social and existential
configuration. This displaced, dispossessed voice explores what it
means to be extracted, subtracted, abstracted out of being-and
returned into it. Meditative, urgent, and alive, Copy asserts
itself as an invocation, both intensely personal and insistently
communal, of the right to refuge, and it enacts a powerful homage
to the human capacity for creation and metamorphosis. In this way,
this book points to the wound of being extricated, serving as both
a suture and a salve.

"Without the copying process," the poet Dolores Dorantes has said,
"there would be no life, no reality." Through deconstructed
dictionary entries and powerfully syncopated, recursive texts, Copy
is a prose poem sequence that insinuates an experience of violent
removal: a person's disappearance from a country, from normal life,
and forcible reintegration into a new social and existential
configuration. This displaced, dispossessed voice explores what it
means to be extracted, subtracted, abstracted out of being-and
returned into it. Meditative, urgent, and alive, Copy asserts
itself as an invocation, both intensely personal and insistently
communal, of the right to refuge, and it enacts a powerful homage
to the human capacity for creation and metamorphosis. In this way,
this book points to the wound of being extricated, serving as both
a suture and a salve.
