READING ZEMBORAIN AND ALCALÁ

On Mauve Sea-Orchids & Some Maritime Disasters this Century
by Bonnie Jean Michalski

"Written entirely in the present tense, mauve sea-orchids narrates constant activity of minutia; reading this book feels like watching a nature documentary that takes place inside an organic body and slowed down just a second or two so that the movements of its simulated natural world become trance-like. . . ."

mauve sea-orchids review in Jacket Magazine

Marie Larson reviews Lila Zemborain's mauve sea-orchids for Jacket Magazine #37.

Read the entire review here.

"In Lila Zemborain’s mauve sea-orchids we are presented with a field of blurred bodies, pearlescent with longing and without barrier. There is no immutable inside or outside here except in the most exorbitant sense — everything is inside, and everything is outside. Or, more precisely perhaps, these bodies are not quite borderless but sensually dissected into permeable components that, propelled by love or desire, gingerly grope for each other in their ocean of blindness and vertigo. . . ."
