Cante de Gitanas con Nombres de Luz / Songs of the Gypsies with Names of sunshine is a set of poetry encouraged by means of the normal flamenco cante of Andalucía. every one of Karlanna Lewis' poems is observed through her personal unique surrealist pen and ink illustrations. Following within the variety of the gypsy singers of flamenco track and different poets passionate about the duende within the artwork reminiscent of Lorca, Lewis treats flamenco subject matters with an individualistic part. for instance, in "Fable within the Castilian Dialect" she writes

...tell me the fantasy of a good

time, of the fan of a dotted skirt and what
we wore after, of the dancer’s hips and how

they decided the remainder of our lives, of what
Lucia the barista acknowledged after we positioned two

euros at the counter and requested her to make us
Gods.
(l. 2-8).

Karlanna Lewis' poetry has been defined because the embodiment of disappointment and love but in addition as weird and wonderful and actually specific. Written in English with the occasional Spanish notice for untranslatable emphasis, Lewis' paintings, either writings and drawings, is natural artwork. With titles starting from "Jeraldo with the Dinosaur Wings" to "Spanish Dancer at relaxation" to "Questions for a Merman" Lewis' poetry is whatever yet predictable. In her poems the reader unearths a wierd obsession with bicycles and occasionally miniature humans, but in addition a different realization to element within the paintings of flamenco. Having studied dance heavily for over a decade, Lewis skilled the flamenco of Spain, which spurred her to jot down those poems. Her heritage within the paintings makes her skill to narrate the intricacies of the dance either strange and delightful. In "To My Father the football Coach," Lewis writes

Pull me apart to teach me easy methods to capture a comet
in my naked arms and the way to show that comet into

the Spanish dancer made from the tide and of light,
& how she vanishes simply once we have been getting close
( l. 3-6).

Light and wonder and grief and longing are all interwoven in Lewis' poems, with their rhythm drawing the reader close to because the crowd attracts close to at an intimate flamenco tableau.
