Description: For Caribbean culture, sunlight is an energy that dispels the "I" and the world. Under that intense light, madness and fragmentation ensue. Juan Luis Landaeta's Litoral Central unfolds verbally under a solar storm that decants its words and disintegrates them, leaving them stripped and uncentered. There is nostalgia and lyricism for what is lost in the burning, and perhaps the figure of a painter (could it be Armando Reverón?) who dissolves into the white with his palm trees, moving into the past. The tropics approach its edge and pretend to reach their end with these verses. (Publisher's synopsis)
