Venezuelan poet NIDIA HERNÁNDEZ bridges the gulf between her two countries in The Farewell Light,leaping effortlessly between the natural world and meditations on culture, family, language, and longing. Translator-poet FARID MATUK presents The Hormone of Darkness, curated from Peruvian poet and multimedia artist Tilsa Otta’s body of work – in which a queer Latinx person who has lived through iterations of authoritarian rule answers these conditions by doubling down on a life force that precedes and exceeds notions of the poetic. And Cuban American poet CARLOS PINTADO’s Music for Bamboo Strings interweaves intimate conversations, soliloquies, patches of burned diaries, fear, beauty, and personal discovery with stunning cinematography.

EL POEMA DENTRO DEL POEMA: UNA LECTURA BILINGÜE

La poeta venezolana NIDIA HERNÁNDEZ tiende un puente entre sus dos países en The Farewell Light, saltando sin esfuerzo entre el mundo natural y las reflexiones sobre la cultura, la familia, el idioma y el anhelo. El traductor y poeta FARID MATUK presenta The Hormone of Darkness, seleccionada a partir del trabajo de la poeta y artista multimedia peruana Tilsa Otta, en la que una persona queer y latina que ha vivido repeticiones de gobiernos autoritarios responde a estas condiciones redoblando la apuesta por una fuerza vital que precede y excede las nociones de lo poético. Music for Bamboo Strings del poeta cubano-estadounidense CARLOS PINTADO entrelaza conversaciones íntimas, soliloquios, fragmentos de diarios quemados, miedo, belleza y descubrimiento personal con una cinematografía deslumbrante.
