The Bad Girl Rounds

Elena Poniatowska

POETRY, 2008. PLANETA NEW EDITION, 2023. 67 PAGES.

There comes a time in life when games and songs lose their innocence. An educated but mischievous girl who plays the piano, practices fencing and fights with her sister endures a traumatic experience that casts her over the threshold from childhood into adolescence. The awakening of the body and allure of the forbidden set the course for the rounds of a girl who wants to eat and ‘see the dawn in a world / deflowered with kisses.'
The Elena Poniatowska Library gathers together the fiction, essays and journalism of an author who has mastered every genre she's put her hand to. In The Bad Girl Rounds, the poetry conjures the hazy years of youth and the discovery of sensuality and its associated delirium.
