Spit Temple
Poetry/Performance. Latino/Latina Studies. Art. Edited by Rosa Alcala. SPIT TEMPLE collects texts and transcriptions of Vicuna's uncategorizable improvised performances, which combine singing, movement, chants, and stories. Also included are a critical introduction by Rosa Alcala, a poetic memoir by Vicuna (translated by Alcala) addressing her life in performance, and a series of response pieces from contemporary writers including Juliana Spahr, Rodrigo Toscano, and Maria Damon."Vicuna's work, at its very essense, is 'a way of remembering' — as if exile and recall joined to unravel an 'autobiography in debris;' as one personal story within a larger narative." — Roberto Tejada
