Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. Bilingual Edition. Translated from the Spanish by Jennifer Rathbun. This bilingual edition of Alberto Blanco's AFTERGLOW/TRAS EL RAYO represents the first full book of his work in translation and offers the poetry reading public a glimpse into the wide ranging focus that Señor Blanco takes with his language and his perception. The impeccable translation by Jennifer Rathbun helps make the entire volume not only accessible to the reader whose Spanish was limited, but brings the Spanish language alive in an English that is very welcoming.
