The Recumbent Galaxy

Poetry. Art. This collaborative collection of poems by Alvaro Cardona-Hine and George Kalamaras also includes cover art and five additional paintings (reproduced in color) by Cardona-Hine, who--besides being a poet--is a noted visual artist who (with his wife Barbara) owns and operates the Cardona-Hine Gallery in Truchas, New Mexico. "Kalamaras & Cardona-Hine dance an Aleteo--a poetics of fluttering back/forward & into/ against spiritual paths. The koans of Zen, the parables of Kafka & the doubles of Borges boom-crash & whirl with intimacy & Bigmind--memory, desire & investigation, a mad rush toward the bliss of the Void. Yet, there is a contrapuntal friendship amiably floating & laughing into 'electrical storms' of history. Emperor Mu, Wittgenstein & 'a taxidermist from Toledo named Tom' border-cross into each other. There is love. Suddenly, impossibly--an unnamable someone kisses your hands as you read. A timely & revolutionary collaboration"--Juan Felipe Herrera.
