Summary

Esta colección de poesía, mezclada con jazz, juega con el lenguaje y las ideas de manera muy original. Estos poemas muestran el mundo como un verdadero collage, un conglomerado de cosas y una multiplicidad que a veces resulta incomprensible. Los poemas están llenos de contrastes y similitudes, pero aun así quedan sin respuestas. El lector podría incluso llegar a sentir un cierto desosiego. Bajo el juego poético hay desesperación y un sentido de desarreglo e inquietud. Yurkievich a ratos celebra y a ratos lamenta el pandemonio del mundo escribiendo al estilo de Pablo Neruda y Cesar Vallejo. Como los solos de jazz, los poemas responden solamente a sí mismos y resultan magníficos si se leen en voz alta.
