Poetry. "Silvia Curbelo's poetry is accomplished, daring, full of energy and intelligence; it is the generous first manifestation of an authentic and original gift. Her poems embody imaginative honesty and a free-ranging and fresh sensibility. I think they should be welcomed and read with care"-W. S. Merwin.

5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent book of poetry,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Secret History of Water (Florida Poetry Series) (Paperback)
Curbelo's The Secret History of Water is full of strong sensory imagery; you feel as though you are in the poems. Her writings are smooth and flowing, like water.
