Hardly anyone even remembers the visceral realists anymore. Many of them are dead. Others have disappeared and no one knows what happened to them. But some are still active. Jacinto Requinas, for example, is a film critic now and runs the Pachuca film society. He's the one who first got me interested in the group. Maria Font lives in Mexico city. She never married. She writes, but she doesn't publish. Ernesto San Epifanio died. Xochitl Garcia works for Mexico City newspaper magazines and Sunday supplements. I don't think she writes poetry anymore. Rafael Barrios disappeared in the United States. I don't know whether he is still around. Angelica Font recently published her second collection of poetry, only thirty pages long, not a bad book, in a very elegant edition. Luscious Skin died. Pancho Rodriguez died. Emma Mendez committed suicide. Moctezuma Rodriguez is involved in politics. I've heard that Felipe Muller is still in Barcelona, married and with a kid. He seems to be happy. Ulises Lima still lives in Meico City.
