Woven like one of her quipu installations, Vicuña's texts, which include original compositions in Spanish as well as English translations by Daniel Borzutzky, become meditations on translation, not just of the sacred nature of this animal but on how our understandings of ceremony and ritual are transformed by this ongoing process. Taken as inspiration rather than conundrum, the impossibility of translation opens up poetic possibilities for Vicuña as she continues her lifelong exploration into the nature of communication across eras and distant lands, languages and shared symbols within Indigenous spiritualities."

But our poetic landscape has changed dramatically, and so has our planet. Edited and introduced by the twenty-fourth Poet Laureate of the United States, Ada Limón, this book challenges what we think we know about "nature poetry," illuminating the myriad ways our landscapes--both literal and literary--are changing. You Are Here features fifty previously unpublished poems from some of the nation's most accomplished poets, including Joy Harjo, Diane Seuss, Rigoberto González, Jericho Brown, Aimee Nezhukumatathil, Paul Tran, and more. Each poem engages with its author's local landscape--be it the breathtaking variety of flora in a national park, or a lone tree flowering persistently by a bus stop--offering an intimate model of how we relate to the world around us and a beautifully diverse range of voices from across the United States. Joyful and provocative, wondrous and urgent, this singular collection of poems offers a lyrical reimagining of what "nature" and "poetry" are today, inviting readers to experience both anew."-- Show less

Nueva edición conmemorativa de RAE y ASALE. La vida de Octavio Paz corre en paralelo a la historia política y cultural del siglo XX. Su actividad literaria, diplomática y artística; su conocimiento de otras realidades externas a su país, y la relación con sus contemporáneos lo convierten en una figura esencial de la cultura en español. Esta antología propone un original itinerario cronológico por los escritos de Paz que entrelaza la prosa con la poesía, las cartas con los ensayos y otros escritos, hasta conformar una biografía vital y literaria del poeta a través de su obra. El libro se completa con estudios de especialistas y de escritores, coetáneos del poeta y pertenecientes a generaciones posteriores, que ofrecen una visión amplia y rica de la creación del premio Nobel mexicano. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The definitive anthology for immersing oneself in the literary universe of Mexico’s greatest modern poet: winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature winner Octavio Paz. New commemorative edition by RAE and ASALE. Octavio Paz’s life ran parallel to the political and cultural history of the twentieth century. His literary, diplomatic and artistic activity, his understanding of realities outside Mexico, and his relationships with his contemporaries make him an essential figure in Spanish-language culture. This anthology plots an original, chronological journey through his canon, blending poetry and prose, letters, essays and other writings that add up to create a dynamic and literary biography of the poet through his work. Included are commentaries by experts on Paz’s work as well as pieces by his peers and later writers, offering a rich overview of the legacy of Mexico’s Nobel Prize-winning poet." Show less
