Rather than asking where art may lead, Caballero invites readers to consider where art comes from by sharing her own poetic practice. The media-rich poems in Caballero's BLUE PRINTS collection are linked graphically but also thematically. Each poem approaches the question of what drives literary creation from a different perspective, but, in all, inevitability is palpable. For Caballero, writing is not a matter of choice or of destination--instead, writing is her blueprint, at once the origin, essence and design of her being. ++ The Napkin Trick It’s happened before: the intention for conversation starts with a deliberate walk toward an animated block with a light purse & empty pocket. (The night, after all, should only call for some cash.) But when the bar is chosen, you halt to study its doors. Reluctance offers an option: you hunt instead for isolated drinks and a borrowed pen with which to forget the disco music from a car (circling the block in search of a parking spot) on the front and back of a red paper napkin.
