Poems from all three of Isthmus
Zapotec poet Víctor Terán’s collections, showcasing the neo-
pastoral imagery characteristic of contemporary Isthmus Zapotec
poetry while exploring love and love lost with a searing lyricism
entirely Terán’s own.
His lover’s body is a city where the poet
can “give perfect directions,” her name slips over his tongue
“like a fish between the hands / of a fisherman,” and when she
leaves him it’s with memories like “an ocean of incessant fish.”

Avión, named after Mexican estridentista Kyn Taniya's 1919 book by the same name, is a new project that seeks to promote the innovation and internationalism espoused by Mexico's historical avant-gardes, creating a transportation, a flight if you will, in between landwatches mostly from other languages into Spanish but also across inter-pollination of different emancipatory imaginariums, furies, directions and tongues.
