By hola | Published | No Comments
Internationally renown Mexican poet and environmental crusader, Homero Aridjis, reads from his new book, “Tiempo de ángeles,” at Pórtico Bookstore, next Thursday, May 30.
From the invitation:
“A Time of Angels, an inspired collection by Homero Aridjis, constitutes a major stage in a complex and combative body of work that makes him akin to some of the century’s most original voices – from Wilfred Owen and T.S. Eliot to Augusto Roa Bastos. A Time of Angels is a committed book, because poetry like this is never gratuitous. It leans on experience and has the bitterness and mocking tone of everyday life. It is simultaneously desire, derision and aspiration towards wisdom.”
