Opis

Who are the important poets of Latin America since the 1950s? What are the key features of their work? This book shows that contemporary Latin-American poetry continues to be as exciting as it was with Pablo Neruda and Cesar Vallejo. Providing substantial excerpts from the work of Ernesto Cardenal, Nicanor Parra, Carmen Olle, and others, together with translations and detailed readings, this is an excellent guide to the new poetry of Latin America.

Recenzje

De-emphasizing the political and social without slighting their contributions to national identity, Rowe places the poets in a universal realm and offers a view that differs from that of most critics. Moreover, he never stretches the boundary of theory as the essays flow naturally from one poet to the next. The study is a tour de force that completely convinces the reader of the heretofore-ignored rich legacy of contemporary Latin American poetry.
