Benito del Pliego

Translated by Sam Carter
​
"A fable, according to the dictionary, is a narrative, a text about an object or a being, but it is also a conversation. A dialogue like the one that unfolds between word and image.. However, speech (“habla” in Spanish) is also derived from the Latin word “fabula”. Fable is above all the speech of the world. A memory, crossed by the presence of friends and experiences, but above all an insistence, against all hope. Look again, say again." Edmundo Garrido
"With their gnomic adages, their vernacular quotations, their paradoxes and puns, the poems seem as though they might have been written anywhere. They don’t delineate any particular geography apart from the poet’s own mind: his memory of friends, incidents, sentences, and literary allusions. As such, the poems form a kind of traveling world, a poetic companionship, a mode of thinking." Forrest Gander​​
Rubén Martín Giráldez
​"Masterful is a discourse, a satire, a pamphlet, a diatribe. It is the language of an apocalyptic and suicidal king abdicating his seat, his language. . . because he can't tolerate the mediocrity acquiesced to by the average writer and reader." Diego Sánchez Aguilar. Translated by Peter Khan. Read more
Juan Andrés García Román
​"A voice of clarity, of rigour - the poetry of Juan Andrés García Román is a gesture in the direction of an oft forgotten project - poetry as a gift, as an acceptance of limitation, a gesture into the language we use to describe existence and experience." SJ Fowler, 3:AM. Translated by Nick Rattner. Read more

Various Writers
THE HIDDEN THIRD
Basarab Nicolescu
"Where does modern science stand in the essential poetic enterprise? Himself a high-level particle physicist, Nicolescu reports the present crisis of the hard sciences: the demand, as he puts it, for an 'ontological opening,' a recognition of being." David Appelbaum. Translated by William Garvin Read more
Javier Moreno
This is not a book. As the title suggests, this is a soul: an Alma. But a soul, make no mistake about it, is not something from another world. It is a conglomeration of images and words, reproductive data made available to anyone for the satisfaction of the democratic and mephistophelian instinct (who has never desired the soul of another?). Translated by Peter Kahn Read more
Vicente Valero
"[it] is a book that also keeps us so precariously balanced in the space Dark Ecology calls for. This writing offers an animism that refuses animism, a humanism that refuses humanism, a spirituality that rejects the self-preening moral high ground - but also an astonishment that refuses any limitations on the realm of astonishment. Leonard Schwartz. Translated by Richard Sturgess Read more
Lila Zemborain
"Soft Matter is, without a doubt, poetry of the limit and on the limit. "I call it a reaction, or so they have called it. The oscillation in the cortex—not the one we share with the fish—is what separates us from the monkey. Perhaps we don't yet have the ability to call it by its name. Intuition, unconscious, eyes open, the night of time". Juan Andrés García Román. Translated by Christopher Winks Read more
