Opis

An impressive selection, in bilingual format, from the work of one of Mexico's greatest contemporary writers.-The meticulous and loving catalog of moments, animals, plants, beings, suns, and nocturnal revelations that this poetry offers us constitutes - in my way of thinking--a terrible oracle, and at last a shout of hope. To say it in a simpler, more direct way, it is a prayer.---Alvaro Mutis-Alberto Blanco's deep poetry inhabits both the world and the universe of imagination; these poems shed their own light and fly on their own wings.---Michael McClureBorn in Mexico City in 1951, Alberto Blanco is a dynamic and influential voice in the new poetry of Mexico. A musician, artist, essayist, translator, and storyteller, his poetry explores the connections on frontiers between verbal, visual, and aural experience. He is both an innovator and a classicist, a materialist and a mystic, a visionary and a chronicler of everyday life.Here his poems converse with their English translations, to create -a singular book...not simply a bilingual edition, but one unified voice, a poetry that speaks of a world far beyond languages and borders.- (from the introduction by Jose Emilio Pacheco).
