Summary
Monoblock is a poem that is part of an art piece made up of a series of photographs, an industrial refrigerator and an automotive monoblock, which first appeared in 1971 in response to the rumor of the revocation of the Treaty of Bucareli, through which the United States imposed prohibitions on Mexico in order to produce automobiles; thus, Gurrola invites us to reflect on the imperialist attempts of our northern neighbors, an issue that has not lost its validity or importance.Monoblock, Poems and texts without eloquence by Juan José Gurrola constitutes the first installment of a series of five volumes that will compile a selection of the poetic production of Gurrola. Although his contributions to the dramatic world are widely recognized, his poetic work has been little investigated and little disseminated, despite being vast and prolific.
