    Three Poems by Belén Roca (Trans. Noah Mazer)

    We’re thrilled to publish three poems by Belén Roca, translated by Noah Mazer. These pieces are excerpted from her forthcoming book, Magia Infrarealista (woe eroa), a communist flâneuse’s lyric passage through the streets of Santiago de Chile at the height of the 2019 insurrection.
