Synopsis

Conjunction of floral (vertical) vegetality and amphibian (horizontal) animality, celebration of the mythical and human duality, the translational and rotational movement of the poems of Axolotl Constellation is a concentric trip without return of the poet inside himself, and an eccentric flight in the flesh of the woman, the place of writing where the everlasting carnal passions of the poet tattoo the perennial traces of his amatory and vital transmutation.

DARKLIGHT PUBLISHING LLC, was established in New York City to disseminate the poetic work of American and Latin American authors.

The bilingual "Bridges" series was conceived by writers from both countries based on their knowledge of poetry as a genre, as well as an interest in their own language in relation to the other, and its books include contemporary authors seeking readers that move through our geographic hemisphere in physical or virtual ways, and throughout our neighboring countries, where there is a broad exchange between English and Spanish languages.
