Alarcón (1954-2016). Through a new interview included here and through his own Visual Introduction, archival photographs from his travels across the Americas, and new art created in conversation with the collection, Herrera offers a rich set of references, inspirations, and influences that shaped \u003ci\u003eAkrílica\u003c\/i\u003e while sharing his take on this singular book's place in his development as a poet and multimedia artist. This new edition and new translation of \u003ci\u003eAkrílica\u003c\/i\u003e arrives now to expand the political and artistic possibilities that form our current horizon. This project is not one of inclusion or recovery. This is a project of retrieval. We steal \u003ci\u003eAkrílica\u003c\/i\u003e away from literary institutions, away from the discipline of literature as such, and away from traditions of experimental poetics that should hope to claim it. Oriented toward the liveliness of the imagination, committed to fundamentally changing itself in order to meet the moment, \u003ci\u003eAkrílica\u003c\/i\u003e belongs somewhere else; it belongs in the hands of those finding one another in a gathering that has yet to take place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 286\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.69 x 8.5 x 6.53 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 15, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53097315434720,"sku":"9781934819999","price":29.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/5909\/4496\/files\/H4RMc-5jUz9781934819999.webp?v=1781685326","url":"https:\/\/improvedinc.myshopify.com\/products\/akrilica-paperback","provider":"Improved Improper Input Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
