LITANE
Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. "This collection begins with the break in family origin and that circumstance amplifies, as if in expansive waves, to other realms, such as nation, world, and language." —Jacobo Sefamí
"LITANE is full of searches, some are spiritual, looking upward, looking back, always questioning the dubious hierarchies of the sacred. Longing is usually a manifestation of reverence; here, though, the revered is rarely innocent." —Robin Myers
"From the moment I first came into contact with Alejandro's poetry, it impressed me—something here is taken to its furthest a certain overlapping of planes of language and planes of reality that, on the one hand, depict a landscape or a physical environment, and on the other hand, sketch out the distinct nervure of mental landscapes that eventually converge into a space, into a Mexico, into a city that is in some sense derealized." —Raúl Zurita
