Product Description

Something is always gained in Kristine Ong Muslim’s translation of the poems of Mesandel Virtusio Arguelles, sharpening what is already radical in these texts, given that something is always lost in the making of the “source” poems. This teleological awareness of where the poet sourced his poems is embodied in her oftentimes uncompromising decision to turn her back on what seems to make sense for the original, rather what makes sense for her as she embarks on this apparent devotion to rewrite each and every book of Arguelles into another language. What she has opted to surface is quite beguiling (“I can never ever fully know what I am dealing with”), and without hesitation we join her in this mad journey. ~ Oliver Ortega
