Moisés Villavicencio Barras, co-founder of Cantera Verde, one of Mexico’s most significant literary publications for the last 25 years. His poetry has been published in Mexico and the United States. He has two poetry books published, Mayo entre Voces / May among Voices (Oaxaca, Mexico, 2001.) and Luz de Todos Los Tiempos / Light of All Times, bilingual edition (Madison, Wisconsin, 2013.)
Like incantations, Moises Villavicencio Barras’ poems conjure both the ineffable and concrete essences of human loss and love. And like visions, they shimmer and pulse with images both ripe with meaning and utterly mysterious. I treasure these poems’ embrace of the inexplicable and their tribute to the remarkable resilience of the people and creatures of this Earth. These are magical, moving poems that remind us of what matters most.
–Douglas Haynes, author of Last Word (poems) and Every Day We Live Is the Future.
Moisés Villavicencio Barras uses the elements of the universe and nature to speak to us of the way in which men and women survive, do their daily tasks, migrate above all, review childhood memories, and thus revealing our human condition as beings in pain, who wander through the world like a tree without roots… searching for the seeds that will give us some place of residence grace other than death.
–Rubén Medina, author of Nomadic Nation and cofounder of Infrarealism.
