fungus skull eye wing Selected Poems of Alfonso D'Aquino

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 Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Forrest Gander in a bilingual edition.
