Reviews
?Voted the best Spanish-language poet born since 1970 by nearly 200 professors of Hispanic literature across the globe, Valverde has been widely published and widely praised. This bilingual edition of an award-winning collection brings Valverde's brilliance into English for the first time, and the poems substantiate his reputation. The lyrics are, by turns, strikingly pithy (?The wreckage of war drinks dawn?), profoundly reflective (?I think sadness / is the land of man?), and suddenly surreal (?melancholy fish are now October moons?). As progenitor of the poetry of uncertainty, Valverde seeks to ?synthesize social concern and the deepest well of our existence,? and his experiences reporting from the Balkans for the newspaper El País inform a number of poems. Figures like Bosnian historian Izet Sarajli and convicted Serbian war criminal Ratko Mladi, together with a town in Czech Republic, Kutná Hora, populate the poems. Valverde's gift for plumbing the deepest wells of human emotion stays grounded in lived reality, true to his aesthetic. This is a long-awaited and enlightening addition to contemporary Spanish-language poetry in translation.?? Booklist, "Valverde has been widely published and widely praised.
