Translator: Carmen Yus Quintero
Publisher Marketing: The first English-language collection of one of Spain’s most exciting emerging authors performs and interrogates the desires and disillusionments of millennial culture.
García Sierra, one of the central figures of the Spanish young literature movement, constructs bold, strange, uncomfortable poems from everyday life, touching on mental illness, drugs, and heartbreak. His work is widely published (in New Wave Vomit, Ciudades Esqueleto, Playground, and Revista tn, among others) and his first novel, Facendera (Editorial Anagrama, 2022), has brought him broad critical acclaim in Spain. HOUSTON, I’M THE PROBLEM, a selection from his first poetry collection topped off with more recent poems, is the first of his books to appear in English translation.
