This English/Spanish bilingual edition of Blood Sugar Canto appears on the tenth anniversary of the first edition of ire'ne lara silva's essential collection. Poet Julieta Corpus worked closely with silva to convey as much of the music and power of the original as possible. The English verse and its Spanish translation appear on facing pages. Blood Sugar Canto is a powerful hymn to life and to the poet's own body by a "curandera-poet" struggling to transmute the fear and despair of diabetes into healing. She sings of the syringes, the paraphernalia of this new world she must live in, its losses and griefs, its pain, and her memories of those in her family who have died of this disease.
