Heaviness. Time nullifies the present, it poisons future words. Actions repeat themselves: I breathe the same air, the same place the same memories. Heaviness. In Los dioses sí hablan (The Gods, in Truth, Speak), Claudia Quackenbush voices her encapsulated feelings and experiences that she has enjoyed since her marital romance—maternal expressions, sociopolitical thoughts, even her intimate memories, sending the reader to a world of love which breaks barriers and envelops time. Through her poems, one can envision a love for God and nature, peace, optimism, nostalgia, illusions, desire, as well as memories, all viewed through a novel expression of poetry that for the author: is the conceptual image that produces desire and thrusts creativity and life forward. Quackenbush’s poems are verses that seek to develop our: dreams, intellect, illusions, sensations, a sense of longing.
