Praise for Marta del Pozo and Hunger of Images

It is a collection that rewards multiple rounds of reading, lingering, holding lines in suspension, dipping. The effect of moving through the poems is like watching Marker’s San Soleil. There’s a mesmerizing drift into and out of stages of consciousness, and rich philosophical ruminations on the ravenousness of the eye, along with the vexed desire to represent, to seize and ingest the flux of experience as image(s).
