Quote by Yanito

“This book is nothing less than a linguistic exploration of a new language via the poetic form. Like so many before him, Yanito takes an established form of poetry, in this case the haiku, in order to assert both the value and sheer existence of his mother tongue, Llanito. As yet a formally unestablished language, Yanito intermingles the liberty that this affords with an established poetic structure in order to call attention to the beauty and (local) relevance of Llanito, in much the same way as poets from all over Europe used the Italian sonnet to lend weight and aesthetic beauty to their budding languages.”

“Shattered mirrors on the living room floor, a place where mirrors — in any form — should not be. Lying and laying — up and down the room they reflect each whole thing, its completeness, as if the very sight could harm us — so perfect, so unreal from their perspective. I drown on the floorboards, you waste my tears by drying them. All the lies, the lies you told, up and down the room like mirrors, broken ones. Truth reflects nothing unless it’s broken. Outside this room, you roam the hallways, searching for feelings within. Dating a lie, dangerous and monstrous like your mind and soul. Survival is a matter of time and a dance on balanced sheets. The shattered pieces still lie there — waiting for completeness to end, chaos ensuring perfection. The lies fall still in the afternoon light that rests on the floorboards. Breathing easily now, vanishing glimpses — truth fades slowly, holding no place between you and me and all the lies you told.”
