At the heart of this edition are poems from the prizewinning collection Catch and Release (2006). Rodríguez opens by presenting the writer herself as a character, demonstrating a new iteration of distance from herself. In its first text, Rodríguez outlines "the cutout doll of a writer, a character (not skeletal or sentimental or radical or committed)."
By explicitly discarding those descriptions, each associated with earlier images and idealizations of writers, Rodríguez asserts an aesthetic identity for her writer doll only in the duration of her search for an intangible future: creative endurance is itself the wellspring of survival.
