Summary

The raw and poetic odyssey of a sand blind woman, Rosanna Galvez, spoken through a rich incantatory diary.

Diary as Sin Summary

Diary as Sin by Will Alexander

Diary as Sin is the powerful and evocative story of a blind girl, Rosanna Galvez. Confined to a private Catholic home in New Mexico, she unveils her beginnings as an incest baby - and moves through the odyssey beyond - with powerful incantatory language. Through poetic and often painful recall, Rosanna weaves a diary that will spellbind the reader with its imagistic and visionary prowess. Alexander cites Beckett, Bernhard and Goytisolo as an ancestral trilology for the work, living up to his forebears with some aplomb.

Diary as Sin Reviews

Celestial fire modulates through neon fields and aches throughout the lathe of space, animated into dynamic magnetism and psychedelic constellations. Vision explodes through planetary energy as dimensions shift invisibly. Will Alexander is a phenomenal and singular poet, a poet who allows me to leave the abyss of pedestrian sensation and enter a state of mind that thrills me with his animated breath. - Chris Moran, HTML Giant

About Will Alexander

Will Alexander is known to the literary world as the avant garde poet who continually defies easy classification. Though a Los Angeles native, his work resembles Breton, Paz, Cesaire, or Gascoyne more than anything in contemporary US poetics. Even such comparisons are glib as Alexander is that rare voice that must be experienced in its own right. For Harryette Mullen he is a poet whose lexicon, a 'glossary of vertigo,' might be culled from the complete holdings of a reconstituted Alexandrian library endowed for the next millennium. For Nathaniel Mackey 'his thicketed prose advances lexical ignitions of astounding angle and amplitude'.
