THE TELARAÑA CIRCUIT is Lucía Hinojosa Gaxiola's first book of poems, a deeply felt and sustained investigative thought-web of material and immaterial memory. Through different sectional lenses, she constructs a poetic portrait of her aunt who was, aptly, an archeologist. In this, she creates a series of visual and sonic poem-glyphs that score archaeologies of personal and cultural memory, where each cycle spins and sings new registers of connective depth. This bilingual text blossoms into a mesh of charged, fractal each line or "fragment" imbued with the full presence of the whole.

"Memory has a vibrant aspect which extends beyond the image and our experiences as individuals. It amplifies while listening because every time we remember we are listening. Can we produce more memory with its residues? An archive might record its own decay."
