Poetry comes out of my mouth, by Mario Santiago Papasquiaro, is a Spanish poetry collection from Mexico, translated by Arturo Mantecón, published by Diálogos Books in 2018. It is a Mexican collection by Mario Santiago Papasquiaro that announces poetry as breath, speech, and bodily overflow. The title feels perfectly suited to a poet associated with movement and disruption: poetry is not polished away from the body, but expelled from it. 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.
If you’d like to see international poetry continue and gain traction, consider requesting this work from your local library, or purchasing it from places like Open Books (a poetry only bookstore), Asterism Books (an independent press distributor), or bookshop.org to connect you with your local bookstores.
