Ima and Coli Are the Tree That Was Never a Seed
Alejandro Pérez-Cortés
Translated from Spanish by Sean Manning
Alejandro Pérez-Cortés’s Ima and Coli Are the Tree That Was Never a Seed, translated by Sean Manning, is a Mexican entry with a title that feels like fable, origin myth, and philosophical joke at once. A tree that was never a seed breaks the ordinary order of becoming. It asks how something can exist without the expected beginning. That makes the book immediately useful for readers interested in mythic imagination, ecological thought, and the strange grammar of transformation. Published by Akashic Books, it belongs in the library as a work that seems willing to let narrative and lyric braid together. The title alone gives permission to think sideways about birth, growth, kinship, and impossibility.
