{"product_id":"selected-poems-luis-miguel-aguilar-9781848619302","title":"Selected Poems","description":"\"Luis Miguel Aguilar's work is a conversation, between the past and the present, between the educated and the lay person, between useless details and essentials, between erudite data and vital impulses. It is not a spur of the moment conversation, but one that arises from the serenity of an extended, long-term approach, tying up loose ends and giving rise to complete, complex and exalted theories.\" -Juan Manuel Gómez \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Aguilar's poetry is unlike any other from Mexico in recent decades. Perhaps such a deliberately isolated position is even arrogant. It is a superior option in contemporary Mexican literature.\" -José Joaquín Blanco\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"There are poets who are born mature, broad-browed and clear of vision. Luis Miguel Aguilar is one of them. Each book is a gift full of surprises, riddles and enigmas that invite the reader to reread, piece by piece, to savour them: there is an erudite, cultured, referential voice; then there is a more melodic, simple voice that recites ballads and popular songs; and finally there is the intimate monologue, which deals with the familiar \u003cem\u003eterroir\u003c\/em\u003e and tries to decipher the meaning of life, with all its furies and its sorrows.\" -Arturo Dávila\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"His is a work and a voice that, as part of contemporary Mexican poetry, gives it weight and horizons that cannot be refuted. As a reader, I am grateful for this 'difficult minute' that Luis Miguel Aguilar has had to live through, which he says is between the vehement minute and the cowardly minute, adding: 'poetry is the difficult minute'.\" -José Javier Villarreal\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Luis Miguel Aguilar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1848619308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848619302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shearsman Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/12\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Luis Miguel Aguilar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45482065199359,"sku":"9781848619302","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1bb94d13-a381-4437-bd8f-4d3acdba5a7f.jpg?v=1715988472","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/selected-poems-luis-miguel-aguilar-9781848619302","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
