Synopsis
The first English-language edition of Alfonso D'Aquino's poetry, a contemporary Mexican poet known for his fascination with the non-human world., "This is the first bilingual collection by the Mexican master of nature poems, D'Aquino...A necessary read for fans of Hart Crane, Jack Spicer, and Latin American poetry in translation."-- Booklist "Alfonso D'Aquino was raised by his grandmother in an old house attached to a colonial convent in Coyoacan, Mexico. Books were his best friends from an early age. Often solitary, he spent many afternoons at a small aquarium in the nearby town of San Angel, fascinated then as now by the non-human."--Forrest Gander, from the introduction fungus skull eye wing is a book of shifting subjectivity and liquid perspective, of surrealist tradition and Butoh-like gestures. The text flirts with the margins of the "rational," perception, and the subjective mind. The speaker morphs into what he observes; speech comes alive while a plant becomes speech. Impeccably translated from Spanish by award-winning poet Forrest Gander in a bilingual edition.
