Here Reposa hypnotizes us with the magic of locale and the music of languages other than our own. Using history, landmarks, or even mundane events as central pieces, in both free and structured forms, she shows us that each place, each moment can be extraordinary. A keen observer, she finds meaning in details and landscape that would escape most casual travelers. She points out the truth in objects simply by describing them. Like "Fire-Gilding St. Isaac's," this manuscript is gold and mercury, melded.
