Infraganti Mar'a Farazdel

Infraganti is a book to be read a few times over. This because it offers modern poetry, in the best of connotations. It's a visceral, in your face, carnal kind of poetry; a series of written photograms that conform a poetic body, lifted from the sensorial to the extra-sensorial. There's a physicality to it: Palitachi knows how to blend the commonplace with the abstract to create in the reader not only a sense of aesthetics but something else, close to the experience itself, the one being described: when she writes the touch, one feels the very touch as it leaps from the words. The title is no luck, either: as you read on, you realize you're being stripped naked; that you've been caught red-handed delving into two people's nude souls, the poet and the object of her words. Infraganti includes three versions in one book: Spanish, English and French.
