It is simultaneously an exploration of forms and a reflection on poetry in two languages: his native Mexican Spanish and the English he has been immersed since he came to live to New York City, assimilated through the readings of classic and contemporary American and English authors, and by his experience translating a cluster of poets from Mexico and The United States for Darklight Publishing. Roberto Mendoza Ayala considers that the works included here are those that talk best about his integration into a language and a country different from his, and also delve best in writing itself, considering it as concept and form at the same time, breaking down the act of writing until reaching to its source: the contrast. Unknown Words / Palabras desconocidas, is the 18th title of Darklight's "Bridges" poetry series edited in bilingual format and translated from Spanish by Arthur Gatti and Roberto Mendoza Ayala; it contains beautiful illustrations and a cover designed by the graphic Mexican artist Alonso Venegas G mez. Unknown Words / Palabras desconocidas incluye poemas escritos desde 2012 hasta 2020, el mismo per odo en el que el autor ha residido en los Estados Unidos. Es al mismo tiempo una exploraci n de formas y una reflexi n sobre la poes a en dos idiomas: su espa ol mexicano nativo y el ingl s en el que ha estado inmerso desde que lleg a vivir a la ciudad de Nueva York, asimilado a trav s de lecturas de autores cl sicos y contempor neos estadounidenses e ingleses, y por su experiencia traduciendo a un c mulo de poetas de M xico y los Estados Unidos para Darklight Publishing. Roberto Mendoza Ayala considera que las obras aqu incluidas son las que mejor hablan de su integraci n a una lengua y un pa s diferentes a los suyos, y que se adentran mejor en la escritura misma, consider ndola como concepto y forma a la vez, desglosando el acto de la escritura hasta llegar a su origen: el contraste.
