Wise Crimes Luis Cruz-Villalobos

Wise Crimes. The glassy look of a dog-God gives us the welcome to this set of poems that, it would suffice to say just once, is a powerful troop of intelligent infractions to the world, and it encompasses all the elements in its most poetic splendor and it its most human materialization. In this plain, plagued testament of latent images, of textures and forms, human nature speaks to us of the world that we still do not with so many of its entrances and exits that lead to other worlds or bring in new ones: the books of Vallejo bought and gifted to satiety, chunks of soul fallen to the ground, alternatives to the body and soul, the Hummingbirds Tree, the loneliness of nothing, the same philosophy, the hell of sexual slavery, the drunkenness of light, some questions to the sky or the heroism of an orange tree that does not know it gives shade. Wise Crimes is, then, the inventory of a green and living world that inherits the author for when there is no more gray to invent. Sergio MarentesBogotá, October 2017
