Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. Bilingual Edition. Translated into Spanish by Alicia Partnoy. Characters from A Midsummer Night's Dream float into and out of contemporary landscapes contemplating love, art, language, and otherness in mischievous and serious ways. Here "quick bright things" "come to confusion" but often to tenderness and understanding. Alicia Partnoy's inspired translations uncover surprising surreal beauty and cross-cultural insight.
