Ajy Tojen by Raquel Jodorowsky

Afterword by Margaret Randall Introduction by Pedro Casusol Poetry Dual-language parallel text (Spanish / English) 164 Pages ISBN-13 : 978-1-953377-17-3 $17.95 (paperback) This facsimile edition of Ajy Tojen reproduces in its entirety the 12th issue of El Corno Emplumado/The Plumed Horn (Mexico, October 1964), devoted entirely to the work of Raquel Jodorowsky. Born in Chile in 1927, and naturalized Peruvian since the 1950s, Jodorowsky traced an oniric and magic-realist poetic work that marked an essential connection between the American beat generation and the Latin American avant-garde. At the same time, the bilingual poetry journal El Corno Emplumado (1962-1969), directed by Margaret Randall and Sergio Mondragón, planted the seeds of a global mass poetic exchange at the birth of the student movement in the 1960s. This facsimile edition of Ajy Tojen celebrates the legacy of both Jodorowsky and El Corno, preserving the integrity of a historical artifact that informs us about the past, present, and future of Latin America.
