Domestic Life

By Marcelo Rioseco

In Domestic Life, written from the commonplace and recondite landscapes of his (extra)ordinary life in America-once the continent but now the country of Rioseco's linguistic universe-he lays down and ferments, for the first time in his poetry, the crumbs of time: its everyday passage, its occasional apparent standstills. The voice and the poetic gaze pause over and capture the subcutaneous pulse of seemingly lifeless, insignificant moments of everyday existence: the never-ending wait on a backed-up highway or in the supermarket parking lot, yet another late night in front of the TV, the spontaneous conversation with the hairdresser or the mailman.
