"This magnificent selection from two decades of work by Victor
Rodriguez Nunez confirms his pivotal position in international
poetry. Dissolving fixed identities and formal limitations alike,
the mercurial spaces of these poems reveal multiple selves,
elliptical journeys and a passionate attention to everyday sensory
experience. This is Cuban poetry energized by transcultural
encounters, while two vital language currents of the Americas,
Spanish and English, meet in Katherine Hedeen's scintillating
translations. As 'rebel matter', these are poems that engage with
the world in its elements - molten, fluid and restless. They invite
the reader to tune in to new frequencies, not just to the sonic
pleasures of language, but also to the lively matter of a universe
beyond the human, its squirrels, asphalt, dust clouds and stars.
Poetry's imaginative potential, Rodriguez Nunez reminds us,
generates forms of dialogue that are more urgent now than ever:
'there won't be revolution / if we don't let night speak'." -Zoe
