Lantana Or, the Indissoluble Exhalation, by bruno darío, is a Spanish poetry collection from Mexico, translated by Kit Schluter, published by Ugly Duckling in 2025. It is a Mexican collection whose title opens toward plant, breath, and an almost chemical refusal to separate. The poems invite attention to exhalation as a lyric event: what leaves the body, what remains in the air, and what cannot be dissolved. I would not approach it as a book that needs to be solved before it can begin working. Start with the title, the pressure of the translated line, and the feeling of a voice making room for itself in English. The value here is not just metadata or representation. It is the chance to let a particular book create its own weather, its own difficulty, and its own way of asking the reader to listen.
