This might sound like nothing new in the history of poetry, but the poet immerses us in his story by a complex process of linguistic recreation: recreation in the sense of re-invention and recreation also as play, or playfulness. Eduardo Moga explains his method: 'The poetry of Mario Mart匤 Gij is characterised by a morphological promiscuity which springs from an intense awareness of the susceptibility of language to experiment. Words become lexical clay in the hands of the poet, or articulated entities into which other words may be telescoped. Words break, unscrew, crumble onto the page like sand. They are like scattered pieces of a mosaic reassembled to form a new puzzle. This is done by the insertion of brackets around letters, slashes allowing a choice between letters, dashes severing or connecting syllables, suffixes or prefixes belonging equally to the words surrounding them. It multiplies the ways in which a phrase can be read, multiplies its potential simultaneous meanings.\" So the poet is able to juggle the memory of pleasure with present suffering, joy and pain in a single verse: \u003cem\u003e(pre\/es\/ab)sence. \u003c\/em\u003eAmbiguity striving for synchronicity, the language of love becoming as fraught with contradiction as love itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mario Martin Gijon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1848617046\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848617049\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shearsman Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/24\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.29d","brand":"Mario Martin Gijon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941791072511,"sku":"9781848617049","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_fe64f862-93ee-4da6-874b-80b341b638a2.jpg?v=1681454985","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/surrendering-mario-martn-gij-n-9781848617049","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
