Description
Book SynopsisJosé Kozer is one of the most influential contemporary Cuban poets working today. A key figure in the neobaroque movement within contemporary Latin American poetry, he is one of only three Cubans to win the Pablo Neruda Prize. This is a bilingual edition translated into English by Peter Boyle. In addition, Boyle provides an extensive introduction placing Kozer's work in a critical context.
Trade ReviewÍndole hangs together as a collection; each poem is an exploration composed of careful deliberate details. While Kozer’s style and poetic structure are different, his poems in
Índole are reminiscent of Neruda’s
Odas elementales for their revelation of the miraculous and the epiphanic to be found in the every day."" - Emily A. Maguire, author of
Racial Experiments in Cuban Literature and Ethnography
