Alaska - Paperback

by Castillo Suarez (Author), Itxaso del Olmo (Translator)

Suarez explores poetry that has also been translated into French, Spanish, Catalan, and Galician and transcends cultural barriers. The title of this book takes inspiration from a roadside hotel named Alaska. It is a place where the author would go when she was a child, a building that has been abandoned for more than two decades now. Much has been written about heartbreak and abandonment, but little about the invisible threads that connect us to places. We all have an Alaska within us, a place chained to our memories reminding us of someone we once loved but we do not know where they are now.
