Author Information

Mirta Rosenberg (Rosario, 1951–Buenos Aires, 2019) was an Argentine poet, translator, and editor. She developed a unique style, influenced in part by the British and US poets she translated, that manifests sharp emotional revelations and an intense subjectivity, while reflecting on the linguistic and formal construction of language itself. Her books of poetry include Pasajes (1984), Madam (1988), Teoría sentimental (1994), El arte de perder (1998), El árbol de palabras (2006), El paisaje interior (2012), the anthology El arte de perder y otros poemas (2015), and Cuaderno de oficio (2016). She was a key member of Diario de Poesía (1986–2012) and founded the prestigious independent press Bajo la luna in 1990. Her poetry has been included in numerous anthologies, and individual poems have been translated into English, French, and German. She was awarded, among others, a Guggenheim Poetry Fellowship and a Konex Foundation Award. Yaki Setton was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1961.

A chapbook English-language version of A Musical Education (translated by Sergio Waisman) was published by Toad Press in 2020. He is a Professor of Creative Writing at the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Sergio Waisman has translated, among others, The Underdogs by Mariano Azuela (Penguin), three books by Ricardo Piglia, Juan José Saer’s The Regal Lemon Tree (Open Letter Books), and three titles for Oxford’s Library of Latin America.
