HOUSTON, I'M THE PROBLEM, a selection from his first poetry collection topped off with more recent poems, is the first of his books to appear in English translation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn HOUSTON, I'M THE PROBLEM, the long line is made new again in all its inertia and obsession.  scar Garc a Sierra's recursive poems hoard and catalog the anxieties of language and living, revealing the ways in which outside forces 'self' us. They are searching systems, sending out dispatches in an atmosphere of desire and disappointment under capitalism. I was thrilled to be reunited with such endangered phrases as 'I feel like, ' 'I feel as if, ' 'I hope, ' 'I wish, ' 'I want, ' and 'I think' in this collection. Medicated, anaphoric, depressed, dryly humorous, and insistent, these pop-nihilist poems are so full, you can't help but think of them as beautiful holes dragging themselves through the wreckage of the page.
