Autocinema
Gaspar Orozco
Translated from Spanish by Mark Weiss
Gaspar Orozco’s Autocinema, translated by Mark Weiss, gives the Mexican section a title full of movement, machinery, and screens. Autocinema suggests drive-in cinema, self-cinema, and the modern self watching itself watch the world. Orozco’s poetry often moves with international, urban, and experimental energy, and this book likely belongs to that restless tradition where pop culture, travel, politics, and lyric perception intersect. Published by Chax Press, it should be read as a work of montage rather than a single stable scene. The poem becomes a screen, the reader becomes a moving vehicle, and language flickers across both. For the library, it adds velocity and cinematic strangeness.
