Beginning with the question ‘ Do I / in bed in the / dark matter?’ and veering between star matter and flesh, Caroline Cabrera interrogates the surrealism of ontology, revealing insight into how displaced we can be as woman and as people learning how we are of the world. In Saint X, Cabrera pulls us in from underwater or out of the heavens, and we are left gulping for air, grateful or unafraid.— Carmen Gimenez Smith
