Qui ones's lyric world is populated with stark dualities: procreation and childlessness, predator and prey, mania and depression. A hunter pursues an ill-fated fox through the woods; heaven is paved with girls who would rather drown than be born; a couple returns from their honeymoon to find a stagnant pond in their marriage bed. Through navigating these duplicities, Qui ones arrives at a version of femininity that is at once fierce and crystalline, and unmistakably her own. She writes, \"My reflection can only growl back, in water or oil-slick or silver. This is an exercise in forgiveness. I dip my feet in.\" \u003ci\u003eThe Best Prey\u003c\/i\u003e charts the complexity of hunger in vivid, visceral terms, and ultimately arrives at a sense of self that encompasses the contradictions of sensuality, violence, and power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaige Quiñones \u003c\/b\u003ehas received awards and fellowships from the Center for Mexican-American Studies, the Academy of American Poets, and Inprint Houston.
