About the Book

Con Iwana, el poeta chileno Álvaro Leiva consolida una obra que viene gestándose desde 1987 para instalarse en una suerte de intersticio de la nueva lírica panamericana. Además de alter ego, la iguana es también un tributo a los varios desplazamientos lingüísticos y territoriales del autor: liróforo bilingüe que adopta la lengua de la metrópolis norteamericana al castellano chileno para hacerla transitar de la urbe en decadencia al paisaje utópico de la anarquía verde, pasando por la ciénaga del manglar y la transformación espiritual camaleónica donde "yo, tú y el camaleón somos todos". In Iwana, the Chilean poet Alvaro Leiva consolidates a work that has been brewing since 1987 to settle in a sort of gap in the new pan-american lyric . Besides being a an alter ego, the iguana is also a tribute to various linguistic and territorial displacement of the Author: bilingual bard who adopts the language of the Castilian- Chilean-American metropolis to make the city move from declining to utopian landscape of green anarchy, through the mangrove swamp and spiritual transformation of a chameleon where "me, you and the chameleon are all." Jesus Sepulveda Chilean Poet and author of Correo Negro and Escrivania

After the events of 9/11, author Alvaro Leiva wrote this bilingual collection of poems to create a transformative experience in order to understand this brave new world. For the poet this process of speaking, "like iguanas would do", represents a spiritual journey, in a desperate attempt to keep the dreams of the past alive. Throughout these poems and prose a reptile travels from the city to the countryside, from the volcanic southern Chile to the subtropical South Florida in the US. Therefore, the poet, who has turned into an iwana, his artifice, is the personification of its own process of transformation. Despues de los eventos de "9/11" de Nueva York, poeta Alvaro Leiva escribió esta colección bilingüe para crear una experiencia transformativa para que pueda comprender esta edad nueva. Para el poeta el proceso de hablar "como la harían las iguanas", representa un viaje espiritual en un intento desesperado por mantener los sueños vivos. En estos poemas, prosas un reptil se desplaza de la ciudad al campo, desde el sur volcánico de Chile hasta el sur de Florida en los Estados Unidos. Así, convertido en iwana, su artificio, el poeta es la personificación misma de su proceso de transformación.
