Antonio Martorell abre las gavetas del armario para revelar lo oculto mediante un conjunto de breves relatos y una sucesión de imágenes misteriosas: un sombrero, una falda, unos tirantes, un pantalón, un anillo. Las partes permiten imaginar el todo. En esa búsqueda iluminadora, el armario se va transformando en almario de la intimidad donde aparecen el tiempo perdido, las voces, los cuerpos, el placer sensual, los fantasmas. Los diferentes significados de vestir y desvestir se sostienen en la poética de un espacio recóndito. Como en un sueño, lo ausente se hace presente mediante imágenes y recuerdos. Andrew Hurley - el brillante colaborador y traductor de Martorell - señala con agudeza que esa poética evoca la fantasía de Alicia en el pais de las maravillas. ¿Qué se ve y qué se oye? Atravesando el espejo, se descubre el potencial de cada prenda. Viene también a la memoria el clásico soneto del poeta Garcilaso de la Vega, "¡Oh dulces prendas por mi mal halladas...". Pero en el puertorriqueño almario de Martorell las prendas no connotan desamparo y muerte. Al contrario. Al mostrarlas, iluminan el deseo de vivir, de testimoniar, modulando la voz propia y reinventándose una y otra vez.

With a series of brief stories and a succession of mysterious images, Antonio Martorell opens the closet (the armario, in Spanish) and the dresser drawers to reveal what's inside: a hat, a skirt, a pair of suspenders, a pair of pants, a ring. The parts allow us to imagine the whole. But this illuminating voyage a l'armoire also takes us inward, soulward, 'to a place where we find lost times, voices, and bodies as well as a hint of sensual pleasure and not a few ghosts. The different connotations, suggestions, meanings of "putting on" and "taking off," "dressing" and "undressing" become "embodied" in the poetics of a private, hidden, perhaps inner space. As in a dream, the absent becomes present in images and memories. Andrew Hurley - the brilliant collaborator and translator of Martorell - shrewdly points out that that poetics evoke the fantasy of Alice in Wonderland. What is seen and what is heard? Stepping through the looking-glass, the potential of each garment, each article of dress, is discovered. One also recalls the classic sonnet by Garcilaso de la Vega: "O sweet garments by me ill found!.." But in the Puerto Rican armario/almario (a closet for souls, one might say), the garments do not connote abandonment or death. On the contrary. When they "come out," they illuminate the desire to live, to bear witness, the voice modulating, the garments, and the artist, reinventing themselves over and over again.

Good, but size up!
Color: Black, Size: 30W x 29L
These are exactly what I wanted, but as many have stated, you need to size up. I found that going up two sizes (from my usual 28 to a 30) made for a great fit. I love that they come in a 29 length. One anything point is they came with creases in them from being folded in the package for a length of time. I had to steam and press them before wearing. I’ll likely buy them in other colors.

order 3 or 4 inches up than your usual waist, run very small in waist
Color: Charcoal, Size: 33W x 30L
arrived with dirt on the bottom legs but amazon helped with that. anyway I weigh 115 lbs and am 5'8 and I am a woman. I know that Dickies these days run super small for their size, so it sounds insane but order up 4 inches than your normal waist size, then run small in the waist and they will shrink a size with a few washings. I ordered a 33 waist and they did shrink probably a size in one wash lol! they are still a bit loose in the waist but not big and I know with a couple more washings they will be just right. I do not like anything skinny fit or with no give. but yah, I love the charcoal gray color, one of my favorite colors, much cooler than plain black. I normally enjoy the Dickies shorts but with these forty something degree afternoons these are my new go tos. I am not a jeans person and I sure as hell with not be wearing pajama pants out in public like these dang younger adults lately.

Comfort and Appearance
Size: 9, Color: Black
The shoes were as advertised. Marc Joseph (I hav 4 other pairs) are the perfect shoes for me with my physical needs. Additionally they are exceptionally comfortable and attractive. This pair I returned because they weren’t quite the right fit for me. They are, like my other Marc Joseph shoes, very well made and very attractive.
