Mario Santiago Papasquiaro’s Bleeding from All 5 Senses, translated by Cole Heinowitz, is another Mexican entry of speed, extremity, and bodily overexposure. The title is almost a poetics by itself. To bleed from all five senses is to experience the world too intensely, to have perception become wound. Papasquiaro’s work carries the infrarealist charge of rebellion, city-life, literary misbehavior, and ecstatic refusal. Published by White Pine Press, this book is not likely to offer calm, and that is part of its appeal. It belongs in the library as a work of unruly perception, where poetry becomes nerve, noise, philosophy, and streetlight all at once.
