(IDENTITY IS A VECTOR.)\" Throughout his first full-length book of poems, poet Camilo Rold n, who has taken the late artist Lozano as a sort of spirit guide, appears to challenge identity to the point of crisis. The poems in  Dropout  cover seven years of the author's life in New York City. Rold n has since left the US for Colombia, where he has found work as a translator in Bogot . The contrast between cultures and dialects and an increasingly intimate engagement with intertextuality and the diverse contingencies of language may have given him the perspective to look back across a relatively short time span to compose this extraordinary book. Dropout is distinctly the work of a bilingual writer intent on foregrounding intertextual relationships as a kind of interlingual liminality. A preoccupation with translation as authorship, and conversely, authorship as translation, wends its way through mistranslations, ekphrasis, mixtures of English and Spanish, collage poems, citations, glosses and the ephemeral tracings of a reader's identity vector.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Camilo Roldan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1942723067\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781942723066\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ornithopter Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/28\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 98\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.23d","brand":"Camilo Roldan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43940205953279,"sku":"9781942723066","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_fd31e7b0-59c1-443f-92e1-0f319dafcb09.jpg?v=1681445860","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dropout-camilo-roldan-9781942723066","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
