Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. Translated by Paul Hoover. Maria Baranda is one of the leading Mexican poets of the generation born in the 1960s. Her work has received Mexico's distinguished Efrain Huerta and Aguascalientes national poetry prizes, as well as Spain's Francisco de Quevedo Prize for Ibero-American Poetry. She is increasingly known for her sweeping and incisive long poems and book- length projects, and this volume contains two such works: 'To Tell' and the title poem.
