I Sugar The Bones explores the crossing of borders between countries, people, languages, and the veil between life and death. Through the porosity of the US/Mexico border or through toxic relationships, through geopolitical violence or Freudian slippages, through ghostly glitches, translingualism and radio signal interferences, or the role of rivers across history, Adcock invests in the liminal spaces and layering of different realities. Through deceptively simple language, humour and a multi-layered lens through unexpected transpositions, the poet embraces the dubbing actors who once voiced the characters of The Simpsons for Latin America, along with a man imagined as a kitchen cabinet. Adcock interrogates the different stories surrounding borders, where things are a lot more interconnected than we tend to assume.
