      Poetry. Translated from the Spanish by Lawrence Schimel. While best-known for her prose, award-winning novelist Care Santos has also published one collection of poems, DISSECTION, which won the Carmen Conde Prize in 2007 and appears here in English translation for the first time. In poems filled with astute and acerbic observations, Santos mercilessly dissects her own life to cut to the quick of what it means to be a woman—and in love—in the modern world. Often turning to humor and self- deprecation to expose the flaws in her relationships—or perhaps in all relationships—these poems are sure to resonate for all readers who have ever (nervously, joyously, selflessly) given their heart to another.
