Antonio Martorell abre las gavetas del armario para revelar lo oculto mediante un conjunto de breves relatos y una sucesión de imágenes misteriosas: un sombrero, una falda, unos tirantes, un pantalón, un anillo. Las partes permiten imaginar el todo. En esa búsqueda iluminadora, el armario se va transformando en almario de la intimidad donde aparecen el tiempo perdido, las voces, los cuerpos, el placer sensual, los fantasmas. Los diferentes significados de vestir y desvestir se sostienen en la poética de un espacio recóndito. Como en un sueño, lo ausente se hace presente mediante imágenes y recuerdos. Andrew Hurley - el brillante colaborador y traductor de Martorell - señala con agudeza que esa poética evoca la fantasía de Alicia en el pais de las maravillas. ¿Qué se ve y qué se oye? Atravesando el espejo, se descubre el potencial de cada prenda. Viene también a la memoria el clásico soneto del poeta Garcilaso de la Vega, "¡Oh dulces prendas por mi mal halladas...". Pero en el puertorriqueño almario de Martorell las prendas no connotan desamparo y muerte. Al contrario. Al mostrarlas, iluminan el deseo de vivir, de testimoniar, modulando la voz propia y reinventándose una y otra vez.

With a series of brief stories and a succession of mysterious images, Antonio Martorell opens the closet (the armario, in Spanish) and the dresser drawers to reveal what's inside: a hat, a skirt, a pair of suspenders, a pair of pants, a ring. The parts allow us to imagine the whole. But this illuminating voyage a l'armoire also takes us inward, soulward, 'to a place where we find lost times, voices, and bodies as well as a hint of sensual pleasure and not a few ghosts. The different connotations, suggestions, meanings of "putting on" and "taking off," "dressing" and "undressing" become "embodied" in the poetics of a private, hidden, perhaps inner space. As in a dream, the absent becomes present in images and memories. Andrew Hurley - the brilliant collaborator and translator of Martorell - shrewdly points out that that poetics evoke the fantasy of Alice in Wonderland. What is seen and what is heard? Stepping through the looking-glass, the potential of each garment, each article of dress, is discovered. One also recalls the classic sonnet by Garcilaso de la Vega: "O sweet garments by me ill found!.." But in the Puerto Rican armario/almario (a closet for souls, one might say), the garments do not connote abandonment or death. On the contrary. When they "come out," they illuminate the desire to live, to bear witness, the voice modulating, the garments, and the artist, reinventing themselves over and over again.

Sheets are good. Greens don't match
Color: 08 - Sage Green, Size: King (20" X 36"), Color: 08 - Sage Green, Size: King (20" X 36")
I purchased the sage green sheets to go along with another Bedsure comforter, then purchased 2 more pillow cases (because i I like a lot of pillows) and the greens don't exactly match. This doesn't REALLY bother me as I feel like its fine with a little "texture." Sheets feel nice and light and I love the look of it in my room.

Good buy Pillowcases
Color: 08 - Sage Green, Size: King (20" X 36")
I bought these Bedsure king-size pillowcases from Amazon and overall I’m very happy with them. The first thing I noticed was how incredibly soft and smooth the fabric feels. They almost feel silky, which makes them very comfortable to sleep on. When you lay your head down, the material feels cool and gentle on the skin, which I really like. I also appreciate the zipper closure. It keeps the pillow securely inside the case and makes everything look neat and tidy on the bed. The zipper is hidden well and doesn’t feel bulky or uncomfortable. The only small downside is that the pillowcases are so smooth that the pillows can sometimes slide around or even slip off the bed a little. However, that’s really just because the material is so silky. Overall, I would still recommend these pillowcases. They are soft, comfortable, and feel like a nice upgrade compared to regular pillowcases.

Love the sheets but GOSH THEY STINK
Color: 19 - Forest Green, Size: Queen (20" X 30")
I have the dark green sheets and bought these for extra cases to match. I would give them 5 stars if it weren’t for the fact that they smell absolutely horrible. I am so surprised after reading reviews that more people don’t mention it?! Maybe it’s more prominent in darker colors but I have washed these now 3 different times even with scent beads and still hate the smell. I wish I could accurately describe what it smells like— it’s just not good and for some reason, body heat only exacerbates it and makes the smell even worse and I wake up feeling like a smell like the sheets… which isn’t a good thing. Besides that, I do really enjoy them. They feel great on your skin and I love the color. I wish the smell didn’t kill them so badly for me ☹️
