At the same time, her poems also unsparingly explore the external shifts (in the speaker's surroundings and even her memories) that make it so challenging to retain an unassailable sense of self.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMariana Spada\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Entre Ríos, Argentina, in 1979.
