In this exuberant and distinctive collection, Dionisio Mart?nez addresses topics as diverse as love, the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, twentieth-century art and music, and the relevance of language in an age of image. Dionisio Mart?nez is one of the most exciting new voices in American poetry. His poems are mysterious and intellectually provocative. . . . They are the poems of a survivor. Stephen Dunn
