Summary
"The title of Bi-rey-nato, Julia Wong Kcomt's sixth poetry collection, is a homonym for "virreinato" or "viceroyalty," but can also be broken down into its component words: "bi" (bi/two), "rey" (king), and "nato" (born). Likewise, the poems in this chapbook play with binaries: in power, love, language, country, identity. The salt in the air of seaside Lima, the setting of the first section, condenses into the salt that trails through the second section, set mostly in Argentina."--Publisher.
