One<\/strong>
\nCeiling
\nWhite hospital walls without ornaments
\nCanvases
\nParlor where my anguish floats without oars or shore
\nAnd
\nSometimes
\nGood Fridays of a Christ transfiguring thorns.<\/p>\n

Two<\/strong>
\nI received postcards with paintings by Monet:
\nHis water lily ponds steeped in light and shadow
\nHis poppy fields
\nHis violets
\nThe woman with a parasol on a windy day
\nHis reborn suns
\nHis cloudy sunsets
\nHis twilights where offerings of nostalgic indigo settle
\nMonet
\nWith his hours tinted in timeless beauty<\/p>\n

Three<\/strong>
\nWhen pain gnaws
\nLike today
\nI imagine fields of blooming dandelions
\nAlmond trees whitened by so much love for full moons
\nI adorn myself with colors
\nI remember the scent of jasmine from my home
\nOf forests of blossoming linden trees
\nOf broom
\nOf daffodils
\nOf blue madrigals of rosemary on the hills
\nI give in to the senses
\nI dance with the rays of light that filter through my window.<\/p>\n

PREFACE<\/h5>\n

With *Eclipses*, poet Norah Zapata-Prill explores a realm of experience that few writers have addressed in the first person. We already know that her poetry speaks of the intensity of concrete, evident experience, both personal and collective: bodies, landscapes, encounters, phenomena\u2014those manifestations in which the unfathomable within humanity and the world is brought into question.<\/p>\n

Here, however, she enters a different zone. *Eclipses* carries into language what emerged and was revealed through a liminal experience: in the life of a severely wounded body, in the apprehension of death, in episodes of extreme pain and fear, even in dreams\u2014in other words, within the vast complexity that characterizes a clinical situation.<\/p>\n

For this book to exist, a completely unique experience was necessary\u2014an experience that, as we shall see, gave rise to truths and visions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Milky Way keeps me in a trance
\nIt shatters my mirrors
\nMy masks
\nInto pieces
\nI seek to make sense of this rift in the light of my wounded self\u201d<\/p>\n

Trances and visions are revealed to us here, because the personal and unique experience brought into language\u2014offered through writing\u2014becomes a conceptual, inclusive, and open experience. It becomes a possibility for human understanding.<\/p>\n

The word *eclipse* comes from the Greek \u1f14\u03ba\u03bb\u03b5\u03b9\u03c8\u03b9\u03c2, meaning \u201cdisappearance,\u201d \u201cabandonment,\u201d and also from \u1f10\u03ba\u03bb\u03b5\u03af\u03c0\u03c9: \u201cI abandon.\u201d In ancient astronomy, the *ecliptic* was the line of motion where eclipses occurred.<\/p>\n

Today, we know that even total solar eclipses allow a halo of light to shine through, and that some spectacular lunar eclipses tint the Moon a coppery hue. There is no absolute disappearance, no complete abandonment.<\/p>\n

It is along these abyssal lines of motion between light and darkness, between brightness and concealment, that life takes shape. Something of what we do not see is there.<\/p>\n
