Overview

In line with some of his favorite authors (Paul Celan, Hart Crane, James Merrill, or John Ashbery) Luis Armenta Malpica's most recent book confirms him as an extraordinary voice in the panorama of Mexican and Spanish language literature. His commitment to the book-length poem has been a constant in his poetic work: a universe of correspondences that leads now to the first hecatomb of the big bang, now to the fatality of the atomic bombs. Enola Gay is a profound and emotional story, full of discoveries and intentions, in which the word detonates with its multiple effects upon a Hiroshima that is personal and not far from historic events. Words capable of bringing down the Berlin Wall to the beat of Pink Floyd, and all that, in the way of Inger Christensen, with that smoothness with which snow falls and the elusive force of lightning. It is not gratuitous that one character is the commanding offers and his opposite Mishima, nor that the book functions as a requiem of war.
