Self-Portrait in the Zone of Silence, by the renowned Mexican
writer Homero Aridjis, is a brilliant collection of poems written
in and for the new century. Aridjis seeks spiritual transformation
through encounters with mythical animals, family ghosts, migrant
workers, Mexico's oppressed, female saints, other writers (such as
Jorge Luis Borges and Philip Lamantia), and naked angels in the
metro. We find tributes to Goya and Heraclitus, denunciations of
drug traffickers and political figureheads, and unforgettable
imaginary landscapes. As Aridjis himself writes: "a poem is like a
door / we've never passed through..." And now past eighty, Aridjis
reflects on the past and ponders the future. "Surrounded by light
and the warbling of birds," he writes, "I live in a state of
poetry, because for me, being and making poetry are the same."
