"In this brilliant bilingual anthology, William Archila creates a powerful and fiery poetics of exile, war, and, ultimately and brilliantly, survival."-Daniel Borzutzky, National Book Award winner


From war-torn El Salvador to the streets of LA, Caníiacute;cula / Dog Days is a bold, bilingual collection chronicling exile, memory, and resilience across borders.


William Archila's Canícula / Dog Days is a bilingual selection of his first two books of poetry, The Art of Exile and The Gravedigger's Archaeology, two collections that chart the emergence of a newcomer in the chorus of Latin Poetry. Canícula, which means "dog days" in English, takes the reader on a poignant journey from the unrest in El Salvador in the 1980s to the urban landscape of the US immigrant, revealing the turmoil and memory of the disempowered, the impoverished, and the displaced who struggle back home in Central America. In lyrical and often harrowing language, Archila unearths the vestiges of war and the exile's return in an elegy, the fragments of a myth, or a jazz riff. They come together like the bilateral symmetry of a volcano, and the result is the introduction to Archila's poetry for the Spanish reader.

"En esta brillante antología bilingüuuml;e, William Archila crea una poéeacute;tica poderosa y apasionada del exilio, la guerra y, en úuacute;ltima instancia y con maestría, la supervivencia."--Daniel Borzutzky, ganador del National Book Award


Desde un El Salvador devastado por la guerra hasta las calles de Los Ángeles, Canícula / Dog Days es una antología bilingüe audaz, que narra el exilio, la memoria y la resiliencia a través de las fronteras.

Canícula / Dog Days de William Archila es una seleccióoacute;n bilingüe de sus dos primeros libros de poesía, El arte del exilio y La arqueología del sepulturero, dos poemarios que marcan el surgimiento de un nuevo referente en la poesía latina. Dog Days, que significa "canícula", lleva al lector a través de un viaje conmovedor desde la agitación en El Salvador en la década de 1980 hasta el paisaje urbano del inmigrante en los Estados Unidos, revelando la angustia y la memoria de los marginados, los empobrecidos y los desplazados, que luchan por volver a su hogar en Centroamérica. Con un lenguaje lírico y a menudo desgarrador, Archila desentierra los vestigios de la guerra y el regreso del exiliado en una elegía, en los fragmentos de un mito o en un riff de jazz. Estos se conjugan como la simetría de un volcáaacute;n, y el resultado es la presentación de la poesía de Archila al lector en españntilde;ol.

A Noticeable Upgrade from Regular Soaps
Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 6)
Leaves skin soft, smooth, and refreshed without dryness I’ve tried plenty of big retail soaps over the years, but this one stands out right away. The bar lathers nicely and leaves my skin feeling noticeably smoother and never dry, which is a huge improvement compared to what I used before. The scent is clean and subtle, not overpowering, so it works well for everyday use. I did expect the bar to be a little bigger, but it has held up better than I thought it would, making it worth the price—especially since I picked it up during a sale. Overall, this is a quality soap that feels more refined than the usual options, and I’ll definitely keep it in my rotation.

Works well
Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 6)
I just wanted to update my review as I have had more time to review the product. The presentation is well done and in a nice looking box. Initially it did not smell the best in the box but when it gets wet it has a mild smell that is pleasant. It has a great lather, the exfoliating beads feel good, and it does work well. Great product but the smell is mild.
