This first book-length collection of Eich's poems in English makes available a poet who was a soldier and prisoner of war and then began to resurrect his native tongue as a language for poetry.

Luis Bunuel called Peret "the quintessential surrealist poet." Benjamin Peret is a poet like no other.

This vivid presentation of Campana demonstrates why Italian readers have cherished his poems since the first appearance of Canti Orfici in 1914.

In pure lyrics and longer elegiac poems this great Hungarian poet inscribed not only his own sad fate but that of millions in an Eastern Europe that only nominally "between the wars" during the '20s and 30s. Translator Batki demonstrates how contemporary this work remains.

Lebanese writer Venus Khoury-Ghata, who lives in France and has won many of France's major literary prizes, blends French surrealism with Arabic poetry's communal narrative mode in three stunning poetic sequences.
