Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. Bilingual Edition. Translated from the Spanish by Mary Crow. VERTICAL POETRY: RECENT POEMS is a bilingual selection of poems by the distinguished Argentine poet Roberto Juarroz which were published between 1984 and 1988. "Mary Crow has given us a poet of miraculous lucidity and mystery at once. Her translations are marvelous in themselves and share the beauty and importance of the work. This is contemplative poetry that does not release...but compels the reader to follow the trail of the poems until the last. These poems are magnetic: engaging paradoxes and sudden bursts of light. This is a poet to compare with Octavio Paz"—David Ignatow.
