Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. "The relentless creaking, whistling, howling, and ultimately devouring power of the American jungles comes through in virtually every one of these poems. In the great tradition of Latin American poets who've striven to sensually and intelligently sing of the terrible passage to regeneration, Harrison (adept and hip to that tradition) adds a new element: memory buffer overrun of historical consciousness. Continually refreshing our memory through a wild "real-time" syntax, OS neither gets snowed in by the Northern Obsession of perception for perception's sake (as ever-redeeming spirit), nor swamped by the Symbolist Ritualisms of a pre-lapsarian South. Could this be bio-conductivity's first run at poetry?"-Rodrigo Toscano.
