Diorama

<i>Diorama</i> is both a book of poems and a performance action by the poet Rocيiacute;o Cerَoacute;n, who guides the reader on a hallucinatory, spiraling journey through image, language, Mexican history, and soundscapes. As unrelentingly tactile as it is unapologetically cerebral, Rocيo Cerَns new book asks that we relinquish control and submit to the poets brutal lyricism, and to a new kind of order imposed like a penumbra between us and the waking world.
