«Me llamo Hokusai» is the poetry collection by Christian Peña, published by Fondo de Cultura Económica in paperback (75 pages, in Spanish).
The collection draws on Hokusai's painting to reflect on identity: a lyric self without a fixed name appears in scenes of childhood, fatherhood, illness, and creation. The verses circulate the artist's real names through figures such as a child learning to swim, a father, a cancer patient, an amputee, an octopus woman, and a writer.
Winner of the 2014 Bellas Artes Poetry Prize Aguascalientes. Part of the Capilla Alfonsina collection.
For readers of poetry and Mexican literature, with an interest in Japanese visual culture.
