Suffer, London!

Resumen

The selected poems depict a three-month experience that the author undertook in London during his research stay at the London School of Economics and Political Science. They explore the themes of displacement, solitude, grief, and connection from the gay migrant man's perspective. Through the use of repetition, fragmentation, and lyric voice change, it is possible to observe how the articulation of body and mind as vulnerable sites in a big metropolitan city takes place. London, then, is not just an urban physical place but also an affective landscape where the wounding and transformation is possible.
