Los espacios liminares son espacios que no habitamos, que generalmente son de paso y que, dada su condición, algunas veces ponerles atención generan desconcierto; así son los poemas de este Cuarto de hotel, Bracho transmite con sus poemas el desconcierto de los espacios de paso cuando se les presta atención, su carencia de familiaridad, su condición genérica son captados por su atento ojo poético, espacios en los que podríamos quedar atrapados (hay algunos poemas que podrían consignar una historia de fantasmas, de personas atrapadas en el limbo de un hotel, en la presencia del hotel).

Estos breves poemas extienden los espacios comunes que encontramos en un cuarto de hotel, los extiende a través de un lenguaje lleno de simbolismos. El lenguaje crea imágenes que nos pueden llevar a ver las cosas de otro modo: pueden cambiarnos la vida, nuestras ideas y asimilar la vida (tal como hace la poesía, en base a la idea de muchos poetas).

If you enjoy lyrical poetry you will love these poems. Bracho has such a great way of showing in a non-narrative way the deep emotions of all of us. It's hard to describe exactly what these poems are about because what they are about is not the point. The imagery is the point, the lyrical language, and the experience you have when you read them. I've decided to read all of her work for the next six months and do an in-depth study of her writing because I am enjoying these poems so much. They are so different from how I write and are teaching me to look at my own work in a different way. What else could you ask from another writer?
