Beschreibung

"One of the most visionary poets of our time. Ivan Argüelles is that rarest of poets: one who practices at the very precipice of being." Andrew Joron also wrote this 2021 note to author: "The amount of supernaturally great work you've produced on a daily basis over the past few years has altered the path of this planet! Please keep me posted on anything forthcoming and I will order it. Shine on, you crazy diamond!" - Andrew Joron / "If there is anything great in contemporary poetry, and there is, Argüelles is an essential part of it. His work contains all that makes poetry great. That he does not have a massive audience means nothing. Should poetry matter to a culture that has almost entirely abandoned it?" - Jake Berry

Autor

Author statement: I borrow what I can from multiple sources, from Virgil and James Joyce to Cesar Vallejo and Philip Lamantia. I often write at white-hot speed, and indeed at times in epic furlongs. The experimental often automatic nature of my writing is always looking for new spatial extensions. I consider each new piece to be a challenge, for I do not want to repeat what I have already done, but rather hope to embark on some new direction each time. I would be remiss if I did not emphasize the emotional nature of my work: the fundamental dimensions of the universe dilate with great unspoken sorrows. The intellect is a poor excuse, and reason has no place in this cosmos. Words are merely sounds open to interpretation. Each vowel has its own meaning. All languages say the same thing, embroidered with retroflex consonants, clicks, glottal stops and missing punctuation. The author of some 48 titles, I remain an enigmatic, marginalized figure in the illusory world of official literature. - Iván Argüelles
