SinopsisSOUTHERNMOST - SONNETS

'Vivid ... A memoir of queer love, loss and migration dazzling' Karen McCarthy Woolf, author of Top Doll

'It all happened a long time ago, no one now remembers this story
let me tell you how it all happened, how we turned unholy.'

In Southernmost, Leo Boix takes us on a spellbinding voyage through time and imagination, from the Argentina of his birth - 'the end of the world, the antipode' - to a new life in England.

Unearthing an old grief, the poet embarks on a glittering, encyclopaedic exploration of his own past and the Latin America he left behind: a continent haunted by the Europeans who once fixed their telescopes on its shores.

Southernmost reveals truths hidden in plain sight: colonialism's violent legacies; dissidents disappeared by the junta; a young mother's mysterious decline; the clarifying sexuality of a boy whose father can't bear to acknowledge it. At the same time, it tells a story - as sonnets have often done - about love, through Boix's intimate and original evocation of gay marriage. Restlessly intelligent, intoxicated by Latin America's landscapes and rich folklore, this virtuosic net of sonnets offers a glimpse of our world's interconnecting threads.

'In this thrilling collection of sonnets, Leo Boix maps a personal geography out of dynamic encounters between the Old World and the New' Chloe Aridjis, author of Sea Monsters

'As sinuous and expansive as the ocean between us' Urayoán Noel, author of Transversal

Edad recomendada: Adultos.
