Rebecca Blackwell

Rebecca Blackwell (Caracas, 1972), known by her literary name Inédita Gramática González, is a sociologist and chronicler of the everyday. She holds a PhD in Sociology from the University of South Florida and has spent over a decade researching how stories shape desire, mental health, and migration. Having lived in Caracas, Toronto, Lima, and Tampa, she collects voices, accents, and ghosts, transforming them into poetic narratives. Between academia and poetry, she has found her laboratory: language as an emotional territory. Her book *Bailes de manicomio*—a romantic and psychoerotic comic about exile, laughter, and the freedom to love without permission—is her first collection of poems and second comedic work.

Bailes de manicomio is a book object of poetic prose about love, the psyche, and the pain of distance. A choreography of self-knowledgement through the psycho-erotic confession of forbidden desire and the end of love in marriage. A sexualized transference materialized on canvas, stitched like the points of a wound to bring skins together beyond fantasy. The intimate becomes comic and the painful turns to rhythm, while the visual takes over: more art than text, more laughter than drama, more body than theory. Writing is cure, and humor is defense in the therapeutic logbook of a poetic invitation to redirect feelings. The book is made from transfers on canvas, with text sewn onto canvas pages waiting to be framed and mounted, along with the wooden case that contains them, a piece for the table that or the wall.
