\u201cSchafer has achieved a titanic task, selecting from Huerta\u2019s fiercely personal early books, up to his recent work, texts that embody the poet\u2019s constant concerns, but also their development and variations. The book is thus an exciting introduction, for English-speaking readers, to Huerta\u2019s poetry. The translations are both a faithful and creative rendering of the originals, revealing Schafer\u2019s empathy for the work. Schafer\u2019s translations recreate these delicate nuances with fluid transparency. We cannot but applaud Mark Schafer\u2019s refinement in his selection and translation of one of the most relevant living poets in the Spanish language\u2026\u201d -Adriana D\u00edaz Enciso, Review: Literature and Arts of the Americas<\/em><\/p>

\u201cSchafer makes Huerta, who might be seen as \u2018difficult,\u2019 accessible to readers without sacrificing any of the startling images, leaps of meaning, and emotional resonance the poet uses to great effect\u2026 Those who are interested in the poetry of our close neighbor to the south, or simply good poetry, will find David Huerta\u2019s latest collection a remarkable and satisfying read.\u201d \u2014Foreword<\/em><\/p>

\u201cFor the first time, American readers will discover that Mexican poetry has continued in the tradition of greats like Octavio Paz and Jose Emilio Pacheco, but also that writers like Huerta have transported Mexico\u2019s poetic legacy onto a whole new plane of the imagination.\u201d \u2014Bloomsbury Review<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
