Autobiography
of So-and-so: "With a magical
naturalism that refuses to separate the local from the global, Maurice
Kilwein Guevara's Autobiography of So-and-so: Poems in Prose holds
our eye close to the Western wound: where cultures mix only by bleeding
into each other. These prose chronicles reconfigure fixed assumptions
about self and enter a threshold past which facts are as haunted as nightmares
and consensual reality has become a waking dream. . . . The upshot: a
troubling beauty that gets at the difficult news with perpetual newness
and hope." |
