Nobody’s Tongue: An Anthology of Poems

Descripción

Sense in the Nonsense permeates the skin, the bones, the eyes, and the mind, in this whirlwind of an anthology of poems. Translated by Jeremy Paden, this collection flits from Spanish to English, its charm redefined by Sarbani Dasgupta’s interpretation on canvas. A Chilean poet born in Linares, Mario Meléndez is one of the most original voices in today’s Latin American Poetry. His voice is influenced by the Dadaist movement, and the king of absurd imagery, Lewis Carroll. Find out (with any luck) what language is. Figure out whether that luck lies in your grave or in the nook of Louis Armstrong’s trumpet. Look, look, look for what everything and nothing means.
