Obituary

By Dainerys Machado Vento (tr. Michelle Mirabella)

Columbia Journal, 2026

Part of a sequence of dream writings, “Obituary” exists in memory where dreams and reality blur. Machado Vento drops readers in, recreating this sensation of dreams lacking context, and leaves us wondering about where the dreams end and reality begins.
