WARNING
These are poems of death that I present to you. Poems that speak of the filth of humanity and how disastrous it is to be human. Do not see them in a negative light, for you will be damned for the rest of your days; and if your blasphemous tongue should speak against the truth, may your mouth be covered with malignant sores because that is what you are: malignant.
At turns darkly lush, funny, and sparking with outrage at the corrosion and machine of modern life, these lyric meditations on death, life and death-in-life from Paraguayan poet Edgar Galeano Dominguez (1961) suture the banal violence of the world map to the private inner space of art and the dream, speaking with a rich eloquence to Americans on both continents.
