A collection of stories of Mexican writers. Not about the old themes like the countryside, the Revolution and Mexican identity, but about their personal worlds: fantasies, histories, sexualities.

I had a difficult time enjoying the short poems of this collection because of the text layout (I had to add the dots so it would display properly, there are no dots in the text, it's just tabbed out):this is how the.................short poems are writtenand it is very.................distracting to me forsome reason.................but I am sure I am justtoo dull to get.................the deeper meaningbut to me it.................seems pointless andarbitrary.However, the longer poems (the odes) are absolutely amazing. Gibbons' ruminations on seemingly quotidian happenings in his life are quite moving - especially one called 'Ode to Citizens'.… (altro)

"Homage" is the key word. This set of poems is very much an homage to the dying Thomas McGrath. As Gibbons compares himself to McGrath, "Homage" is emotional rather than tactical or strategic. I recommend "Homage" only for McGrath readers.

I like the second section of the book. It's more understandable. I really like what Dylan Thomas has to say.
