Description: Between 2017 and 2020, the public library Aeromoto in Mexico City organized a series of bilingual readings. The meetings, called Salón de Belleza (Beauty Salon), brought together more than 70 poets and writers from different generations, contexts and traditions, almost all from Mexico and the United States, but also from various parts of Latin America and Europe. In the readings, translation was used to bridge the linguistic and cultural gaps between poets separated by political boundaries and to establish a space where literatures of diverse origins and aesthetics could coexist. The result of this collaboration was a representative sample of some of the most intriguing literary expressions that have taken place in America during the second decade of this century. Salones de belleza: escritores en Aeromoto brings together, in a fully bilingual edition, the work of these writers, many of whom their work was translated for the first time. Editor/curator Kit Schluter (Boston, 1989) is a poet-translator & bookmaker living in Mexico City and curator Tatiana Lipkes is an editor, translator, publisher and poet.

"Between 2017 and 2020, the Aeromoto public arts library in Mexico City organized a monthly series of bilingual readings. The gatherings, called Salón de Belleza (Beauty Salon), brought together more than 70 poets and writers from many generations, contexts, and traditions, predominantly from Mexico and the United States, but also from various parts of Latin America and Europe. In these events, translation was used to bridge linguistic and cultural gaps between poets separated by political borders, and helped to create a space in which literatures of different origins and approaches could coexist. The result of this collective initiative was a unique cross-section of some of the most intriguing writing taking place in the Americas during the second decade of this century. The Beauty Salon: Writers at Aeromoto gathers work from these writers--in a completely bilingual edition--many of whom are appearing in translation for the first time."--Page 3 of cover.
