Grand Central | Rodrigo Rojas

 

Poem in seven stanzas written in Spanish after reading Galway Kinnell’s “The avenue bearing the initial of Christ tinto the New World”.

The poem is set in post 9/11 New York and its a close observation of organic life and refuse on the undergrownd. The speaker is hidden below the surface of the city gathering momentum to emerge.

Grand Central folds like an accordion and extends a few meters. The text is silkscreened and the images are copper plate etchings.
