Claudina Domingo, translated by Ryan Greene

Marked by invention, irreverence, and psychogeography, Claudina Domingo’s Tránsito/Transit—winner of Mexico’s Carlos Pellicer prize—is a kaleidoscopic collection of twenty-four poems intricately entangled with the landscape, language, and history of what we now call Mexico City.

PRAISE

"An outward intimacy, that’s Transit. But not only that, Transit is also the everyday experience of Mexico City—how could we truly experience a city, except through the steps we’ve walked a thousand times? I’m talking about an edified consciousness that most people let slip past (without seeing). Domingo's reflection, via writing, pauses at thought-places that are about to collapse, at peeling and tottering corners, at dirty windows waiting to be noticed before vanishing. Architectonic epochs of a city and epochs of thought, together. Thus, it strikes me as no coincidence that this book by Claudina Domingo in particular should show how to walk on the tightrope of language, or along the edge of spaces where meaning dwells between parentheses.” —Dolores Dorantes, author of Copy
