Tlamachiliztlahtolçaçanilli: A Performance Translation Of The Náhuatl "Wisdom-Discourse Fables" From The Manuscript Of 1558, Willard Gingerich
Department of English Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works
The 10 page Náhuatl manuscript included at the end of the so-called Codice Chimalpopoca and commonly referred to since 1903 as Leyenda de los soles, “Legend of the Suns,” or the “Manuscript of 1558,” is a fundamental witness to indigenous Nahua- Mexica memories of their own cosmogony and earliest history as they recalled these things some twenty-five-plus years into the colonial era. As supplement to the later Anales de Cuauhtitlan manuscript (ca. 1570-73) which accompanies it in the Chimalpopoca, the 1558 manuscript provides a privileged view of Nahua-Aztec genesis myths, from a Mexica informant.

Department of English Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works
Armand Schwemer was born in Antwerp, Belgium, in 1927 and came to the United States in 1936. He has worked as a performance artist and musician with Jackson MacLow, Jerome Rothenberg, Gum Velez and others, and has published over fifteen books of poetry. His The Tablets, an ongoing work begun in the 1960s, remains one of the most protean and provocative, though underacknowledged, explorations of open composition to have emerged since mid-century. The following interview, conducted by Willard Gingerich, is excerpted from a longer series of exchanges which took place between April 4 and June 29, 1993.
