fungus skull eye wing: Selected Poems of Alfonso D?Aquino (Paperback)

Poetry. Translation. 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. "Alfonso D'Aquino was raised by his grandmother in an old house attached to a colonial convent in Coyoacan, Mexico. He never met his parents. 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
