In Wild West he explores unprotected civic space, the neglect produced by a state that has, dangerously, absented itself from the city. From this vantage point, he meditates on the destruction wrought by the breakup of social accords. The city, it seems, is dead; now, the periphery is all there is. Born of a nonrestorative disillusionment, the poetic voice takes shape as the dweller-in-evil who points out the love, the stench, and the noises of this urban horizon. Here we cross paths with the "aspiring murderer," the neighbor who "lunges at his wife," and the body waiting for its worms. - Johan Gotera
