Description
New translations of poems by prominent Peruvian poet Carlos GermA¡n Belli. A This selection of poems by internationally renowned Peruvian poet Carlos GermA¡n Belli tempers a dark, ironic vision of worldly injustice with the â?ored midnight sunâ?? of hope. Belliâ?Ts contemplative verses express faith in language, in bodily joy, and in artistic form. These thirty-five poems explore public and domestic spaces of confinement and freedom, from paralysis to the ease of a bird in its â?oazure cloister.â??A A Translations by Karl Maurer retain Belliâ?Ts original meter, follow his complex syntax, and meet the challenges of his poetic language, which ranges from colloquial Peruvian slang to the ironic use of seventeenth-century Spanish. This bilingual edition also includes notes and reflections on Belli and on the art of translation. Beyond introducing American readers to a major presence in world poetry, The Azure CloisterA offers a fresh approach to the translation of contemporary verse in Spanish. A
