Description
In stark, contemporary language that bears the influence of the zd oral tradition, the poems in Zdan Xelefs debut offer a searing indictment of the commodification and dehumanization of the displaced. Translated from the Arabic by Bryar Bajalan and Shook,A Barcode Scanners wide cast features IDP camp managers and UN representatives alongside literary forebears like Anne Sexton and pornstar Sasha Grey, in poems that recount tragic camp fires, text message romances, and the drudgery of everyday life for the survivors of Daeshs 2014 genocide of the zd.
Avin, named after Mexican estridentista Kyn Taniyas 1919 book by the same name, is a new project that seeks to promote the innovation and internationalism espoused by Mexicos historical avant-gardes, creating a transportation, a flight if you will, in between landwatches mostly from other languages into Spanish but also across inter-pollination of different emancipatory imaginariums, furies, directions and tongues. -Publisher
