Description
Poetry. Latinx Studies. "From the beautiful, askew opening line of this book, 'as much are the years gone now as snow,' to the profound concluding speculations, 'Is the world made in the shape of language?'; 'A lifelong search for sound in meaning'— TWILIGHT CANTOS reaches into a darkness few books, few films, few songs, few symphonies, few paintings—few artists—even recognize. Argüelles has always been a powerhouse, but there is a lifetime singing in every line of this book."—Jack Foley
