A lonely winter day, the methods of lighting a cigarette, a gentle rain, a naked woman asleep in a field--whether the world of Iannamico's poems is wide awake or asleep (or sometimes both), she softly imbues a dreamlike quality into every line. Masterfully translated by Alexis Almeida, \u003ci\u003eMany Poems\u003c\/i\u003e is Iannamico's first full-length book to be published in English.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRoberta Iannamico\u003c\/b\u003e lives in Villa Ventana, Argentina.
