"Connie Mae Concepción Oliver is a Venezuelan poet. Her first book of poems, Cosmos A Personal Voyage by Carl Sagan Ann Druyan Steven Soter And Me is about nuclear disarmament. Her second book, Science Fiction Fiction, is an homage to Miami-Dade County and color photography in the early aughts. Her new collection of poems, dormilona, is a bilingual book that explores dream states, distance, the rituals of sleep, and the elusive nature of time and memory. Both “nightgown” and “sleepyhead” in Venezuelan Spanish, dormilona weaves a neural network linking sleep to language, memory, matrilineal bonds, geography, and history."
