Three-sheet pergamino (i.e. broadside), measuring 40 inches when unfolded. The first sheet shows hand-colored drawing of a weeping Achilles. The layer beneath him bears Alonso's poem, which meditates on the moment between the dead of Patroclus and the vengeance against Hector, when Achilles only grieves. Quickly, Alonso's verses come to interrogate masculinity properly - an especially astonishing poetic maneuver, extending to critique of the machismo culture so dominant in Latin American and Caribbean cultures. Includes elements of paper cutting, collage, yarn, and gilt thread. Fine. Housed in publisher's brown paper envelope.
