" 'Fear is the liquid state of / pain as a wound is the solid state
of / fear.' Mariano Peyrou's pulsating and mesmerizing meditation
on love, time, and memory, here elegantly translated by Terence
Dooley, is at once minimalist and expansive: its subtle repetition
of key nouns and verbs creates a dreamscape in which 'two parallel
lines meet / in your eyes.' If parallel, how can these lines meet?
The path to understanding repeatedly confronts a mountain, because
'Similarity / and difference only become apparent / with time.'
Peyrou's Possibilities in Shade is a beautiful love poem, an
inspired ode to self-recognition." —Marjorie Perloff
The Year of the Crab tells the story of an endless seaside summer,
or perhaps a series of summers spent in the same place. It is a
musical interplay of emotions and ideas, with recurring motifs and
characters, often very funny, often profound, with a sense of
childhood discovery remembered in maturity, an idyll with the
background voices of fear, illness and death never far away, but
also with strong intimations of love, nostalgia and happiness. It
is a magical poem. “The Year of the Crab is transparent, of a
transparency that is almost frightening: it speaks with the
visionary ability of a child, but with the composure of an elderly
man (…). It is a beautiful, marvellous tale of love and
terror.” —Ada Salas, Nayagua “Mariano Peyrou’s writing is
among the most personal and surprising on the current scene.”
—Luis Bagué Quílez, Babelia
