Nights of Adrenaline

Nights of Adrenaline is a text of intense, incisive, and extreme violence and paradoxically, and at certain moments, of an almost innocent tenderness. The obsessive exploration of the feminine condition, exploration of body and mind, and their unstable and intermingled overlappings, as well as of a woman's conflictive social placement in a world made neither by nor for her, yields a tension that is highly explosive in poetry the relinquishes nothing: not the banal, not the quotidian, not the obscene. Carmen Oll is one of the most important Latin American poets of the 20th century. Antonio Cornejo Polar, University of California, Berkeley.
