By turns sardonic and lyrical, scathing and irreverent, the hallucinatory sequence centers on the relationship of a young man (the Inconsolable) and an older woman who unexpectedly takes her own life (Lantana\/Anfitriona). Across the three books, darío seamlessly code-switches between registers and genres: soliloquies from people, places, and things; the Inconsolable’s notes, poems, and letters; the discourses of Lantana’s buried corpse as gravity pulls her deeper into the soil. Lantana is a kaleidoscopic assemblage of texts that experiments with centuries of poetic tradition and firmly establishes darío as one of Mexico’s most daring poets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bilingual edition, featuring a biographical translator’s introduction by Kit Schluter, marks the first appearance of darío’s complete trilogy in a single volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ebruno darío (Cuernavaca, Morelos, 1993) Some of his books are: El opuesto de la flor (Taller Ditoria), Poèmes très tard (RAZ ÉDITIONS; bilingual edition; trad.
