Set against the backdrop of a changing urban landscape, the poems in Tender Machines swing between the domestic and the surreal, charting motherhood, desire and an immigrant family's haunted inheritance. Mapping the lives of women and the lives they inhabit, poems such as Small Essays on Disappearance,--which channel the aftermath of motherhood and 9-11--collide with aubades describing mornings in a ruined city: buying food at the bodegas...nectarines and skin-tight plums. The poems in Tender Machines live in the space between the public and the private, braiding an intimate narrative. This is an intersectional portrait of womanhood with all its losses, departures and wonders.
