Omschrijving
Who are the important poets of Latin America since the 1950s? What are the key features of their work? Providing substantial excerpts from the work of Ernesto Cardenal, Nicanor Parra, Carmen Olle, and others, together with translations and detailed readings, this is a guide to the new poetry of Latin America.
This book is full of intense and intricate arguments and well-timed transitions.
English translations will attract the non-specialist ... clear introduction ... A book that might answer those who insist on rigidly adhering to prose, it is a valuable addition to the field.
Rarely have those teaching Spanish poetry progressed beyond such important and influential poets as Neruda and Vallejo. However, Professor Rowe has successfully brought us up to date.
De-emphasizing the political and social without slighting their contributions to national identity, Rowe places the poets in a universal realm and offers a view that differs from that of most critics. Moreover, he never stretches the boundary of theory as the essays flow naturally from one poet to the next. The study is a tour de force that completely convinces the reader of the heretofore-ignored rich legacy of contemporary Latin American poetry.
