Iván Argüelles is clearly one of the most unique and authentic poets working in English today, and I dare say one of the most authentic in any language. His uniquely identifiable voice runs throughout his work, but each of his individual books and poems has its own unique timbre, point of view, its own movement, tone, thematic center. Each work is unique. The nature of his engagement over the past 50 years or so has been far more than a desire...

Jack Foley wrote of the two poems in this book: "Their vast reach and their vast reading include the Classics and the realm of Pound's Cantos, where the dead and the living mingle. James Joyce's "nighttown" is here as well, and we feel the constant presence of the author's identical twin, José (1939-2011). These poems are not for the faint of feeling or the faint of intellect, but they are for those who value poetry, literature, the world." He...

Ivan Argüelles does not mine the general American vein of didactic or "therapeutic" poetry that is supposed to be of use in some way. What he creates is an expansive romantic/surrealist summoning of multiple, swarming worlds and histories. He is thus one of the most authentic poets working in English today, and one of the most beautiful in his use of language. His voice is unique, but each of his books has its own timbre, point of view, its ow...

To be an innovative poet on the Left Coast (or anywhere) is like shouting your truth to an empty (or at best half full) room. This is especially true if your innovations don't match the practice of the current reigning innovation. Iván Argüelles has never been a L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poet, though language-tongue's parlance-is at the heart of what he does. Hearing him read his work aloud is a deep pleasure, but it is also here, on the page, in octoge...

The authors describe this long poem like this: "Field Hollers was born of insomnia, trading stanzas largely predawn, back and forth before light harrowed." This sequence of stanzas consists of a sort of dialogue, a back-and-forth between 2 "twins" (ie, 2 voices, not 2 sets of twins) who constantly switch places, go into reverse, or speak as one voice, so much so that there is little distinction, really, between them. They become a single doubl...

One of the most visionary poets of our time. Ivan Argüelles is that rarest of poets: one who practices at the very precipice of being." Andrew Joron also wrote this 2021 note to author: "The amount of supernaturally great work you've produced on a daily basis over the past few years has altered the path of this planet! Please keep me posted on anything forthcoming and I will order it. Shine on, you crazy diamond!" - Andrew Joron /"If there is ...

These poems are intensely and artistically beautiful. The clarity of style and apt phrasing in these poems is remarkable.

The title means "Diary of an Eighty-Year-Old: A Poem with More Tears than Hands", the poems or cantos are in English. The Book is a long, intense, lyrical, and often surreal meditation/recollection of a life in all its complexities, with frequent immersions into the loss of friends and family. In short this is a stunningly beautiful, unique, and unsentimentalized invocation of life and its mirror image, death. Argüelles remains at the peak of ...
