Description
This anthology of poems introduces readers to an eclectic mix of new and established Latin American poets. The beautifully illustrated collection from 19 Latin American countries features traditional pre-Columbian work that is represented alongside contemporary poetry, and a significant portion of the book comes from the indigenous community. Divided into four groups -- Magic Recipes, Traditional Songs and Cooings, The Cricket Sings in the Mountain, and Words and Books -- the poems range from celebrations of nature and nonsense to musings on politics and magic. The book includes the work of Roque Dalton, Humberto A'kabal, and Emilia Gallego.
