Julián del Casal
In 1941, a young José Lezama Lima, the Cuban poet, essayist, and novelist-who would go on to author the polemically erotic neobaroque masterwork Paradiso (1966) and essays on cultural expression in the Americas, such as "La expresión americana" (1957)-published an article in a Havana newspaper on the late-nineteenth-century queer Cuban modernista poet Julián del Casal that advocated for a decolonial poetics of reception and failure and a creative…
The Secularity of Jose Marti
JOSÉ MARTI WAS FOR ALL OF US THE ONLY ONE WHO MANAGED TO PENETRATE into the house of the alibi. The mystic state, the alibi, where the imagination can engender the event and every act is transformed into the mirror of enigmas. [End Page 66]
Origins
ORIGENESIS NOT INTERESTED IN FORMULATING A PROGRAM BUT RATHER IN firing shots from its own wake. Since we do not change with the seasons, we do not have to justify our chameleon skin with extended appeals. We are not interested in superficial mutations but rather in underlining the taking up of being. We want to situate ourselves near those forces of creation, all of strong birth, where the purity or impurity, the quality or disqualification of a…
After the Rare, Strangeness
IT WOULD BE IMMATURE TO AFFIRM THAT, LIKE AN OBSTACLE OR A JOKE, Cuban poetry has had to assimilate itself to the partial and demagogic solution of making an exfuturity out of tradition. Far from being able to utilize the delight of a potentialized memory, we have been obliged to use prophecy. However, prophecy's own impotence to penetrate a past which does not exist has burdened and pestered it with an irony which is resented more than it is ela…

IN THE BLACK LAUNDRY THAT RIMBAUD LOCATED, RAINS (QUANTOS) TEND TO come. The measure is excessive, until it reaches—in the exercise of a meaning which is ungraspable but coexistent—a meaning which is extremely extracted for the associations of a verb, of a situation, of a relation, of intercommunication; between the dilated associations ruled by a meaning and a meaning that acts upon a precise, monstrous, simple, repeatable counterpoint. This bla…
Signs: The Other Disintegration
NEAR THE CRITICAL INDEX FINGER THAT POINTS TO THE LACK OF THE NATION'S imagination—a lack that is not definitive but the absence of a projection or an impulsion through more splendid zones—it is necessary to continually yield up forms that surpass this disintegration. If this pointing is essentially critical, its remedy will have to overflow with creation and images. That is to say, it will have to avoid falling into a crude Manichaeism of signal…
From Origenes to Julian Orbon
WHEN WE CONFIRM THAT THE ARCHDEACON JOSAS SEEMS TO BE THE SHADOW of Perotinus, and that the corridors to arrive at the tower of Saint Gil are the conductus of the melismas in the School of Notre Dame, we understand that the powerful musician Julián Orbón has taken his start in the dear friendship of the proconsul Juliabro and in the ecumenical redondels of sound. He was at the same time, in what is created and what was discussed, in the severe va…

DISTRESSED GHOST OF CONJECTURAL NOTHINGS, ANYONE WHO WAS BORN inside of poetry feels the continual weight of his unreality, his other reality. His testimony of not being, his witness to the innocent act of being born, continually jumps ship into a conception of the world as image. Image as an absolute, image that knows itself as an image, image as the last of all possible histories. The very fact of his carrying out in texts the indissoluble appr…
