About the Book
Catalina Vargas Tovar’s Lemonade: A Paranormal Investigation, translated from the Spanish by Juliana Borrero, is an exploration of a mountain’s presence and power. In this bilingual chapbook, “incoherent” humanity is brought into sharp relief against the mountain, who “absorbs water / in excess / turns it into language,” as Tovar attentively proposes a mode of sense-making that dives beyond the human, deep into the entrails of the landscape.
Author
Catalina Vargas Tovar
Catalina Vargas Tovar is a philosopher and poet that develops her research through editorial projects, delving into different aspects in book production such as collaborative work, the materiality of writing and the book as a space for experimentation. Her independent publishing project Cajón de sastre reflects many of her findings. The question of how ecology and different local cultures affect our ways of learning comes from her long standing collaboration with the NGO Tropenbos Colombia. Among her recent publications are Piscinas ( La Trenza), La fauna enamorada (Matera) Limonada, una investigación paranormal (Cajón de sastre) La selva de noche (Barcú) and Crimen en la isla esponja (Cajón de sastre).
