(IDENTITY IS A VECTOR.)\" Throughout his first full-length book of poems, poet Camilo Rold n, who has taken the late artist Lozano as a sort of spirit guide, appears to challenge identity to the point of crisis. The poems in  Dropout  cover seven years of the author's life in New York City. Rold n has since left the US for Colombia, where he has found work as a translator in Bogot . The contrast between cultures and dialects and an increasingly intimate engagement with intertextuality and the diverse contingencies of language may have given him the perspective to look back across a relatively short time span to compose this extraordinary book. Dropout is distinctly the work of a bilingual writer intent on foregrounding intertextual relationships as a kind of interlingual liminality. A preoccupation with translation as authorship, and conversely, authorship as translation, wends its way through mistranslations, ekphrasis, mixtures of English and Spanish, collage poems, citations, glosses and the ephemeral tracings of a reader's identity vector.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 98\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.23 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 28, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42712255594559,"sku":"9781942723066","price":18.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/7522af41758da0040379713d5cddf5fb.webp?v=1765061167","url":"https:\/\/dhl-adrianne.myshopify.com\/products\/dropout-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
