Mó nica de la Torre’ s Public Domain arrives from Mexico with the ambition to be a personal and conceptual anthology. Public Domain's constantly shifting formats remind one that experimentation is driven by glee at noticing how malleable the world can be. In pieces that range from introductions at a fictive poetry reading of a poem titled "Letters Are What’ s in a Name," de la Torre takes us on a bilingual romp through the opportunities for form to reveal how society works. In one piece she writes a series of letters addressed by an orphan to her biological mother, Mó nica de la Torre, who might be a transsexual model, a scientist who studies “ the properties of fried and baked tortilla chips,” or the member of a high school varsity team.
