Desde que Homero contó las venturas y desventuras de Ulises, la humanidad conoce dos metáforas sobre la vida del hombre y su destino: el viaje y el mar, ese espacio mágico donde todo puede ocurrir. En esta ocasión, Javier Alonso plantea una adaptación en prosa del poema clásico de Homero, donde se altera la estructura de éste y se cuenta la historia cronológicamente, pero sin alterar un ápice el sentido épico y profundo del original.

Son escenas interiores o exteriores, donde están presentes la ciudad, la naturaleza, el viaje, la fotografía y la pintura.

Like the great spiritual teachers, poetry invites us to be radically present, to inhabit the world a little more closely, to attend a little more lovingly, with an awareness beyond the mere mind. The numinous shines right before our eyes, nonchalantly hidden, poorly disguised. God lurks in the shadowy places.

"How can I teach a prayer / I only know how to recite?" "America, whose death / didn't you come from?" These are some of the questions that poet Joshua Gottlieb-Miller wrestles with in his beautiful, gripping new collection.

This hybrid text draws on art, mysticism, and history, taking the dybbuk, a figure from Jewish folklore, as its central metaphor.
