Letters and Poems from Augusto Al Q'adi Alcalde:
Augusto says, "When i write, i fuck grammar and the form and meanings of words, verbs and uses and usages, my poems already sound strange not to say with a whathefukisdeguysaying feeling.....even in Spanish."
When I told him that I murdered the alphabet twice, he responded, "So this means that you did it wrong the first time!! Shame."
