How can we make sense of deep pain that was caused by an event we can hardly remember?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eInfluenced by fever dreams, horror movies, and ghost stories, the poems of this second collection eloquently articulate the way in which people who have been traumatized can carry a violence within themselves. Speakers grapple with an internal unrest that simmers long after the initial wound, becoming attuned to the subtle alarms sounding around them that go unheard by others. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn these pages, nightmares become a vehicle for deeper understanding as Amparán investigates how we learn to live with trauma--how we hold onto it, and how it holds onto us; how it haunts us like a ghost. Lyrical and steeped in surrealism, \u003cem\u003eThe House Has Teeth \u003c\/em\u003easks whether it's possible to ever escape-- to unknow--such violence. To transcend it.
