BOOK / THE EDGES OF THE AIR. Humberto Polar

POETRY

The independent label Album of the Bakterial Universe has released the 59th title in its emblematic collection, and this time it does so with a name that resonates across multiple scenes: Humberto Polar. With a body of work that unfolds between poetry, electronic music, and visual arts, Polar presents his latest collection of poems, a work that confirms his penchant for the hybrid and his perspective always situated on the margins of symbolic power centers.

In The Edges of the Air, disorientation is the starting point for a journey with shifting directions, where the action unfolds through the altered perspectives experienced by the voice of an agent who moves in search of fixing, with human language, material coordinates in a space that proclaims itself posthuman. Each poem marks the axes of a strange system in which the experience of pain surpasses the capacity to express it, and the possibility of liberation remains encrypted in a landscape that dissolves as soon as it is revealed to the senses. Thus, the artifacts of language and the figures of geometry become analogous, failing in their promise to help us understand the world and our place in it.
