WINNER OF THE 2024 GRIFFIN POETRY PRIZESelf-Portrait in the Zone of Silence, by the renowned Mexican writer Homero Aridjis, is a brilliant collection of poems written in and for the new century. Aridjis seeks spiritual transformation through encounters with mythical animals, family ghosts, migrant workers, Mexico’s oppressed, female saints, other writers (such as Jorge Luis Borges and Philip Lamantia), and naked angels in the metro. We find tributes to Goya and Heraclitus, denunciations of drug traffickers and political figureheads, and unforgettable imaginary landscapes. As Aridjis himself writes: “a poem is like a door / we’ve never passed through...” And now past eighty, Aridjis reflects on the past and ponders the future. “Surrounded by light and the warbling of birds,” he writes, “I live in a state of poetry, because for me, being and making poetry are the same.”

In the remote mountains of Oaxaca, the Beatniks have arrived. María Sabina, the renowned Mazatec healer, spends her days in the small town of Huautla de Jiménez selling produce at the market and foraging under the new moon for the sacred mushrooms that grow near her home - her holy children, Carne de Dios, or Flesh of the Gods. But her life changes forever when an amateur mycologist from New York, with a cameraman in tow, visits her to experience for himself the mushroom ceremony, or velada, he knows only from whispers in anthropological records. When he publishes an unauthorized article about his experience in LIFE Magazine 1957, the stage is set for an explosive encounter between the burgeoning international counterculture and the woman who became an unwilling icon of the psychedelic revolution. Homero Aridjis's novel, vividly translated by Chloe Garcia Roberts, tells the story of the motley crew of bohemians, researchers, and holy fools, both real and imagined, who descend on the town of Huautla de Jiménez searching for inspiration, distraction, and salvation in the sacred mushrooms. These seekers melt in and out of a narrative infiltrated by the slipstream logic of dreams. As John Lennon plays jazz on the patio of the Hotel Grande, Juan Rulfo contemplates horror movies, and Allen Ginsberg recites mantras at Philip Lamantia's wedding, María Sabina's life is increasingly thrown into turmoil. Carne de Dios is a masterful and often humorous blend of history, myth, and poetic imagination, captured in a translation that mirrors the hallucinatory beauty of Aridjis's original Spanish. Aridjis's intimate portrayal of María Sabina, informed by his personal connection to her, serves as both a tribute to her enduring legacy and a critical reflection on the wave of global interest in mushroom culture still gaining momentum today. This English translation includes an introduction by the translator and an afterword by the author.

A book of cosmological surrealism in the tradition of Octavio Paz, Solar Poems is the first English translation of a single volume of poems by Mexico's famed poet-diplomat Homero Aridjis, exploring political consciousness as well as visionary psychological themes. President emeritus of International PEN, the prolific poet is Mexico's ambassador to UNESCO. Poemas solares (Solar Poems) was published in 2005. Translator George McWhirter won the Commonwealth Poetry Prize for Catalan Poems, the F.R. Scott Prize for Selected Poems of Jose Emilio Pacheco, and the Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize for his novel Cage. He is Vancouver's first Poet Laureate. "Homero Aridjis is a profoundly ecological poet who has put his fame and time where his principles are, fighting to save the monarch butterflies that winter by the billions in the mountains of his native Michoacan, the sea turtle that lays her eggs on Caribbean beaches, and the gray whale that calves in the lagoons of Baja California. Aridjis writes to the point, with an open eye and a sense of humor ..." --John Oliver Simon, Poetry Flash

This powerful and moving historical novel is inspired by the written recollections and the memories that haunted the author's father, Nicias Aridjis,a captain in the Greek army, who returned from the fields of battle to Smyrna, 50 miles northwest of his hometown of Tire, in 1922 just as Turkish forces captured this cosmopolitan port city. Smyrna in Flames , by the internationally acclaimed Mexican writer and poet Homero Aridjis, lays bare the unimaginable events and horrors that took place for nine days between September 13 and 22known as the Smyrna Catastrophe. After capturing Smyrna, Turkish forces went on a rampage, torturing and massacring tens of thousands of Greeks and Armenians and devastating the cityin particular, the Greek and Armenian quartersby deliberately setting disastrous fires.After years of fighting in World War I and the Greco-Turkish War, Nicias enters a Smyrna under siege. He desperately moves through the city in search of Eurydice, the love of his life whom he left behind. Wandering the streets, the sounds of hopelessness commingle in his mind with echoes of the ancient Greek poets who sang of the city's past glories. Images and voices, suggestive of Homeric ghosts adrift in a catastrophic scenario, conjure up a mythological, historical, geographical quest that, in the manner of classical epic, hovers between the heroic and the horrible, illustrating the depths and depravity of the human soul.Making his way from district to district, evading capture, Nicias observes the last vestiges of normal life and witnesses unspeakable horrors committed by roaming Turkish forces and irregulars who are randomly abusing and raping Greek and Armenian women and torturing and murdering their men. What he experiences is literally a living hell unfolding before his eyes. As Nicias passes familiar buildings, cafes, and churches, his mind and soul fill with nostalgia for his earlier life and the promise of love.Fortunately for the reader, the brutal and bloodthirsty scenes of the Smyrna Catastrophe are leavened by the voice of this ';visionary poet of lyrical bliss, crystalline concentrations and infinite spaces,' as Kenneth Rexroth has described Aridjis. His portrayal of a genocide-in-progress floods our senses, turning these chaotic scenes into a poignant drama.At the very end, aboard one of the last ships to take refugees out of Smyrna before its final fall, Nicias scours the throng of thousands of desperate Greeks and Armenians pressing forward to escape on already overcrowded ships. Suddenly Turkish forces move in to shoot and stab, and, overwhelmed by the all-pervasive tragedy, Nicias abandons Smyrna and Asia Minor forever.

Una serie de eventos provocan que el fotógrafo parisino Nicolás Antschel se halle convertido en el hombre invisible y, como consecuencia, amenazado y perseguido por grupos ansiosos de adueñarse del secreto. Para salvarse y descubrir la fuente de su invisibilidad, Nicolás se verá obligado a seguir un camino de pistas ambiguas que lo encauzan al conocimiento de sí mismo. Con esta novela, escrita en clave mística y esotérica, a caballo entre la ciencia ficción y la novela de suspenso, de la mano del humor negro y de una renovada picaresca, Homero Aridjis hace visible lo invisible: las pequeñas cosas, las grandes preguntas, los lugares a los que estamos acostumbrados, los signos, las palabras, los mensajes borrados por el tiempo.

A fin de cuentas, el poeta siempre es un vidente: el portador de un golpe de luz que convierte en una certeza lo que nadie más había podido ver. Para Homero Aridjis, el poema es un edificio de visiones, y la luz diurna, a la que elogia y canta en Los poemas solares, la matriz en que se figura el mundo. Aquí está todo lo que merece ser visto: las cosas, aquellos a los que queremos y a los que quisimos, los sueños. Lector cuidadoso de los clásicos desde la sensibilidad y la imaginación contemporáneas, Aridjis se detiene delante de nuestra cotidianidad para percibir lo extraordinario, y en la Naturaleza que nos rodea la presencia de lo sobrenatural y de lo cósmico: el poeta cargado de experiencia y en control de sus pasiones voltea hacia el mundo y lo encuentra luminoso. "Los poemas de Homero Aridjis abren una puerta hacia la luz", ha dicho el poeta Seamus Heaney, Premio Nobel de Literatura 1995.

La poesía llama atiende a la constante búsqueda del espacio desde el que la poesía nace y se manifiesta. Dividido en cuatro secciones —La poesía llama, Poemas del presente lejano, Las cuatrocientas voces del azul y Preámbulo a la noche— este poemario tiene como eje el tiempo y las distintas realidades del presente: uno violento, uno lejano y uno que se va convirtiendo para sumarse al mar de historias del pasado. Conforme el lector avance las páginas observará cómo la poesía ilumina y arde a la vez que resulta de la oscuridad de la noche y del insomnio.

Para el nino que llega al mundo la vida se antoja una fiesta fantastica a la que ha sido convidado sin saberlo y donde le son deparadas sin interrupcion las mas exquisitas sorpresas. Sus sentidos se abrazan al mundo como una enredadera exuberante. Todo se le presenta inedito y sin nombre. El mundo, alado, no espera a que los ojos vayan donde el; acude por su propio impulso animado de una solicitud ligera y generosa. Las maravillas desfilan ante los ojos asombrados, danzan con la gracia de su originaria belleza. El nino quiere asir esas mariposas evanescentes que se le hurtan una y otra vez. Poco a poco, el nino que sera poeta va comprendiendo que la red para darles caza esta trenzada con sonidos, con palabras que las fijan a la pared como sanudos alfileres.

“Homero is one of the planet’s great environmental heroes.”—Jacob Scherr, Director of Global Strategy & Advocacy, Natural Resources Defense Council, Washington, DCNews of the Earth chronicles Homero Aridjis’s relationship with the natural world through his writings and his activism as president of the Grupo de los Cien [Group of 100], Mexico’s influential environmental group composed of one hundred prominent personalities in the arts, culture, and science, which Aridjis founded in 1985. Under his leadership, the group’s efforts led to a ban on the capture and commercialization of sea turtles, legislation reducing the amount of lead in gasoline, daily monitoring of air quality in Mexico City, and official designation of sanctuaries for the monarch butterfly. Aridjis waged a lifelong battle against threats to endangered ecosystems and wildlife in his country, many with global implications, including campaigns to save the gray whale, bottle-nosed dolphin, bee population, giant saguaro cactus, endangered coral reefs, and rainforests of Mexico. This book highlights these crucial battles, with detailed documentation of critical environmental victories.Homero Aridjis, one of Latin America’s foremost literary figures, is the author of forty-eight books of poetry and prose. He served as Mexico’s Ambassador to Switzerland, The Netherlands, and UNESCO, and as president of PEN International. He received awards from the United Nations (Global 500 Award), the Orion Society, Mikhail Gorbachev, Global Green USA, and the Natural Resources Defense Council.Betty Ferber Aridjis was born in New York and graduated from Bryn Mawr College. She served as the International Coordinator of the Grupo de los Cien (Group of 100) since its founding in 1985. Her lifelong commitment to the environment was also honored by Mikhail Gorbachev and by Global Green USA with the Green Cross Millennium Award for International Environmental Leadership. She is the translator of several books by Homero Aridjis into English.
