Writing for the first time in Galician, Miriam Reyes crosses the oblique, multi-dimensional passages between her home country Galicia and Venezuela, to which she migrated at the age of eight. In Sardine, Reyes' frustrations using her maternal grandfather's native tongue become confrontations with the insufficiency of language itself, as a means to contain experience, meaning, and the self. Sardine lives in the ruptures in space and time forced open by migration and offers memory as a yoke for our discordant selves.
