Milk Teeth by Alba Alonso Palombi moves between English and Spanish to trace what is handed down through women: a grandmother's departure from Granada, a mother rendered as heat and citrus, and the long apprenticeship of girlhood. Alonso Palombi works in repeating forms, sestina and pantoum, alongside unpunctuated prose poetry that gathers without a break, so that obsession and inheritance are enacted rather than merely described. The register is carnal and unsqueamish, drawn to butchery, fallow ground, and the body understood as meat, soil, or property to be trimmed. Milk Teeth is poetry that insists on feeling while refusing any form of consolation.
