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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 7.9 x 5.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 07, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42731990057023,"sku":"9780811231732","price":22.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/94c0c12fdbf2d3ad1561fbc2051ec407.webp?v=1765130873","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/self-portrait-in-the-zone-of-silence-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
