Review Quotes: "Estos poemas de Claudia Prado me vuelven a emocionar
como veinticinco años atrás. Un siglo de historias familiares durmiendo en el
interior de la ballena, en su Madryn patagónico donde me llevó a conocerlas,
tan inmensas y tan dulces como sus bellos poemas."
they did twenty-five years ago. A century of family stories sleeping inside the
whale, set in the Patagonian Madryn where Prado once showed me her whales,
immense and sweet as her beautiful poems." --Diana Bellessi, Tener lo que se tiene
