The Poems of Sidney West - Paperback

by Juan Gelman (Author), Katherine M. Hedeen (Translator), Vctor Rodrguez Nez (Translator)

This translation offers to English readers for the first time the splendid verse of imaginary American author Sidney West, created by Juan Gelman, one of the greatest living poets of the Hispanic world. These laments question Western assumptions surrounding death, erase boundaries between poetry and narrative, privilege the magical as a vital aspect of reality and seek the transformation of the lyric persona.
