Notes from the Last Age by José Chapa Valle is a collection of poems with speculative elements and precise language. It searches for the extraordinary in everyday life, for the familiar in the unknown, and makes possible these discoveries with a poetic voice that values omission as much as lyric beauty. Whether the age in the title refers to a distant future excavated by a new tribe of creators, or to our own, long forgotten time, this volume is sure to incite wonder.
