To learn to describe the animal is a neat meditation on fatherhood, on the politics of place, and on the capacities of poetry to rage against violences of the state and within the home, and the machismo narratives that sustain such abuses. Birds, riot police, and professional wrestlers abound, as well as an (almost) boundless enthusiam for whatever poetry, or one's relationship to poetry over time, makes possible: a sincere disposition to softness and sadness.
Guillermo Rebollo Gil (San Juan, 1979) writes poetry, creative nonfiction and cultural and literary criticism. His poems have appeared in BOMB, Fence, Poetry Northwest, The Hopkins Review, and other journals. In 2020, the Spanish publisher Ediciones Liliputienses published a selection of his Spanish-language poetry under the title Informe de Logros: poemas 2000-2019. He holds a PhD in Sociology from the University of Florida, a law degree from the University of Puerto Rico, and an MFA from Bennington College. Es el papá de Lucas Imar y Elián Iré.
