Synopsis

An hechizo is a spell, an incantation that attempts to effect change in the world via language. Mark Statman’s Hechizo is woven through a world of personal demons, past and present, a world facing a pandemic and social, political, and environmental dissolution. These incantations take aim at the world from the smallest lizard that crawls into view to overarching political structures. It’s a register not seen in his work before–of foreboding, the forbidden, concluding in tentative, possible joy. ____________________________________________ The spell of Mark Statman’s magical, marvelously absorbing Hechizo begins with Furies and ends in Love. The poems’ casual yet perfectly poised short lines engender a sense of unbreakable continuity, until there’s “nothing/left but ash and/unmoving angelic their/feathered wings” as they bring all opposites together “when change/and the same are/the same.” They are an endless source of delight. –John Koethe The poems in Statman’s beautiful new book Hechizo occupy the thin place between life and death, dream and waking, love and loss. His words cast a spell on the reader; one can hear the music in each line–as if there were a voice emanating from the page. In his work, the Mexican landscape is pulsating with life, but so are the recently and long dead, as well as vibrant memories of life and people left behind. –Joanna Fuhrman
