POEM That Never Ends (Essay Press, £12) is award-winning Argentinean poet, translator and playwright Silvina Lopez Medin’s fourth poetry collection.

An illuminating and expansive collection of lyrical fragments stitched together, the book tells the story of the poet’s mother and grandmother, as well as her own. The story unravels as Medin manages to piece together the complex relationships on her maternal side through letters, phone conversations, family photographs, works of art and personal anecdotes.

We learn of her Paraguayan seamstress grandmother, of how she abandoned her young daughter who was only three years of age to her aunts and how that deaf daughter grew up in Argentina.
