7/15/95 Paris Xicancuicatl collects the poetry of leading avant-garde Chicanx poet Alfred Arteaga (1950-2008), whom French philosopher Gilles Deleuze regarded as "among those rare poets who are able to raise or shape a new language within their language."
A young man witnessed his father's murder in a power play that unintentionally enabled the Aztecs to establish an empire.

This work is a long poem and, echoing Dante, it also narrates a trip to hell.
