Shifting between neo-baroque hermeticism and a poetics of the conversational, his work destabilizes lyric subjectivity, testing the limits of the structure of metaphor to relay the impasses of the present. Reflecting almost twenty years later from the “city of wildfires,” Quijano’s essay charts the continued landscape of state violence that carries with it the “payroll of bones” Cesar Vallejo evoked nearly a century earlier. In this new, searing collection, Quijano searches amid the smoke and the ashes for “A place to spend the night \/ or a language to speak in, \/ walking through the desert, or drilling into our \/ insubstantial dreams.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRodrigo Quijano\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e is a poet and art researcher.
