The poetry of legendary Mexican poet Mario Santiago Papasquiaro is little known in the USA. Closest friend of Roberto Bola\u00f1o (he is Ulises Lima in his Los Detectives Salvajes<\/i>), Mario Santiago\u2019s poetry flies in the most hallucinatory manner out of the tangled mass of Mexico\u2019s heritage. Fusing the supernal and infernal energies of C\u00e9sar Vallejo and Allen Ginsberg, this non-stop automatic-rifle poetry has few peers in contemporary poetry anywhere, and the meticulous translations of Arturo Mantec\u00f3n superbly render this often difficult stylist into an English equally explosive and eloquent. With this potpourri of past and present, imagined and unimaginable visions, Santiago puts himself over the edge, racing as it were to his own destruction.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mario Santiago writes not only with brilliance, but pays homage to his many influences\u2014from the Beat poets to Artaud\u2014whom he turns into his family in a theater of cultural references and, as a communist, makes them all part of his fundamental, historical rage for justice, love and transformation in an epoch steeped in drugs, lunacy and spontaneous righteousness. Arturo Mantec\u00f3n\u2019s majestic translations reveal Santiago\u2019s mastery of lyricism and poetic drama. If you find yourself reading yourself when you read this book, don\u2019t say I didn\u2019t tell you so\u2014that\u2019s how great Santiago is.<\/p>\n

\u2014Jack Hirschmanm<\/strong>,\u00a0 author of All That\u2019s Left<\/i> and Front Lines<\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Every line of these poems pack little explosions of beauty, thought, rage, joy, that coalesce into a radiant blaze. I found myself bouncing in my chair as I read, carried by the language\u2019s irresistible exuberance, and Arturo Mantec\u00f3n\u2019s\u00a0on-fire translations. These poems make fresh a youthful spirit and language from a lost time.\u00a0Mario Santiago still drives solemn pompous Mexican critics crazy; some are deeply annoyed that his friend and champion Roberto Bola\u00f1o\u2019s fame have brought these poems new attention.\u00a0 I love the poems that take on some of Mexico\u2019s sacred foundational myths, and far from merely subverting them, unexpectedly humanize these majestic figures and bring them so close, in poems that drum their honest, brilliantly jiving yet humble beat inside of you: \u201cthe children of my children will transmit my vision in their own way.\u201d<\/p>\n
