Books
Subtitles for a Silent Movie(Bilingual English-Spanish Anthology) Reactor Press 2007 “Subtitles for a Silent Movie is a first collection by a poet whose stark imagery and deft use of metaphor betray not the least sign of inexperience. Succinct, stylish and boldly original, it cannot be called experimental since all its experiments have worked. Sairica Rose is that rare thing, a poet whose accomplishments seem fully formed on her arrival.
There are no safe places in her work, which lights the darker side of being with un-shuttered clarity, never flinching from pain nor afraid of exposing her own fear. It is probably this serene confidence in the face of anguish which lends her voice such authority: she has coined a language for the chaotic, half coherent thoughts and feelings lurking at the edge of consciousness, and found expression for what had been inexpressible. That’s what poets do.” Touch & Go Magazine, London

“...beautiful, disarming and approachable all at the same time.”

“Put that video thing down and check out the movies this woman's poetry reels out for your brain.
One is simply wherever she is.”
– L. Gabrielle Penabaz
“Sairica Rose has proved herself a consummate stylist and intrepid voyager through the dark underworlds:
her first collection Subtitles for a Silent Movie brought her poet’s laurels in abundance. In her second book
of poems she turns outward to the teeming world around her. She has spotted so much on the move, divined so
many hidden portents, blown so many people’s cover, shot such action through a shattered lens and set down all
the glinting shards indelibly. Here is a poet the world will be reading for a long time, who has captured its
fevered image in a form more durable than brass.“
– Christopher Hood Cover illustration - Layil Umbralux
