A Year in Reading: Daniel Saldaña París My father died on January 10, 2024. In the first couple of weeks after that, I couldn’t read at all. I couldn’t write, watch movies, or think much. Then, I reached out to my poet friends and asked them to send me their favorite poems about grief. I have always turned to poetry when nothing else helps—in moments of despair, anguish, or loss. And I have always turned to my friends, too, so this seemed like the right approach.

Es una tarde lluviosa en Nueva York. El huracán Helen baña la isla con un chubasco ligero pero constante desde hace 24 horas. Camino por las calles de Chelsea, entre galerías de arte y lujosos edificios con portero, con la llovizna calándome poco a poco. Cuando llego a la esquina de la 9ª avenida y la calle 20, distingo hacia el poniente, entre los altos edificios de ladrillo, el parque elevado de The High Line.

Often heady, occasionally pretentious, and steeped in literary touchstones. A collection of autobiographical essays distorted through the lenses of memory and literature. Saldaña París writes of his time in Mexico City, Montreal, Madrid, and beyond as “an autobiographical melting” (borrowing a term from Robert Creeley), and he frequently uses the literary canon to shape his recollections.

From Planes Flying Over a Monster, which was published last month by Catapult. Translated by Christina MacSweeney. The Grande Bibliothèque is an enormous glass edifice that stands opposite the Berri–UQAM metro station and Place Émilie-Gamelin, surrounded by buildings belonging to the Université du Québec. The area is transitional, difficult to read. When I first visited Montreal, in 2007, it was still a seedy neighborhood.

The Garden Against Time: In Search of a Common Paradise“A garden is a time capsule, as well as a portal out of time,” according to this searching study. Critic Laing (Everybody) examines how historical British gardens reflect the periods in which they were designed and contemporaneous understandings of paradise on Earth.

Daniel Saldaña París Christina MacSweeney The fence is topped with barbed wire and winds between the shrubs, climbs dry hillsides, zigzags capriciously, and extends into the ocean for about a hundred yards. It stands tall and threatening, rusting in the sunlight, the northernmost limit of a dream gone bad. People peer through it, projecting hopes and a new version of themselves beyond the ICE patrols. There is no escape from this place. I came to Tijuana four years ago, after the accident.
