Description
In Animal For The Eyes poems respond to violence, particularly in the state of Morelos, Mexico. They refuse, however, to reproduce the horrendous acts and yet they do not stand aside. How to reconcile the image of a bodily sanctuary against the heightened image of a cadaverous culture? How to preserve innocence in this context? The deer, an easy and yet attentive prey, is one of the symbolic elements in this poetic scenario. In language that goes from prayers (in the manner of Vedic prayers) to a fragmented and confused postmodernism, through notes, images and phrases, the poems reveal the pursuit of innocence in a vulnerable and hostile environment. This body of sound invites us to a free and meditative dialogue.
