Fierce and visceral, Mario Santiago Papasquiaro's poem is as canonical to Infrarealism as Allen Ginsberg's "Howl" was to the Beats."[Santiago Papasquiaro] didn't believe in countries and the only borders he respected were the borders of dreams, the misty borders of love and indifference, the borders of courage and fear, the golden borders of ethics."--Roberto Bolano "Built from the collision of 'low' and 'high' culture--of police brutality and drunken ranting with Modernism and German phenomenology--it is a testament of resistance to political and artistic repression comparable to Ginsberg's 'Howl.'"--Cole Heinowitz Readers might recognize Mario Santiago Papasquiaro as the eccentric and renegade Ulises Lima in Roberto Bolano's The Savage Detectives. Fierce and visceral, Advice from 1 Disciple of Marx to 1 Heidegger Fanatic is canonical to Infrarealism, a poem that renders poetry inseparable from politics. It was published originally as part of the posthumous collection Jeta de Santo: Antologia Poetica, 1974--1997. This is the first widely available English translation of Santiago Papasquiaro's work. the thesis & antithesis of the world meet like 1 white-hot meteor & 1 UFO in distress & inexplicably they greet each other: I'm the 1 who embossed on the back of his denim jacket the sentence: The nucleus of my solar system is Adventure Mario Santiago Papasquiaro founded the radical Infrarealist poetry movement with Roberto Bolano. During his lifetime, Santiago published two books of poetry, Beso eterno (1995) and Aullido de Cisne (1996). He died in Mexico City, Mexico, in 1998. Cole Heinowitz is an associate professor of literature at Bard College. Alexis Graman is a painter and translator living in New York.

Papasquiaro was prolific, and Advice may be his best-known work--although until Cole Heinowitz's wonderfully propulsive version it had never been translated into English. Papasquiaro's poem, like much of Bolano's fiction, is a kind of nightmare spent in the company of one's best friends. --Robyn Creswell, Paris Review Santiago's distress, derangement, and rages extend from a deep faith in poetry and its ability to both inscribe and incite new perceptions. --Zach Savich, the Kenyon Review Best known as the inspiration for the irascible Ulises Lima in Roberto Bolano's famed novel The Savage Detectives, Santiago Papasquiaro is a formidable poet in his own right. His lyricism borders on the profane, with its bawdy metaphors and extensive use of vernacular imagery, often favoring an "ugly," highly visceral beauty over the prim imagery found in more formal work. --Library Journal
