Reviews

“One of the distinctive features of poetry is that remarkable essays can be written about it, commensurate with the language and syntax they analyze. In this volume, Ben Bollig and Jorge J. Locane, two of the best and most rigorous thinkers of contemporary Latin American poetry, have brought together a group of critics of the same level of academic excellence. The results are phenomenal. It is an examination of writing trends and the formal and ideological options being considered in the poetry of our time. A crucible of analysis, information, and imaginative surveying, this book is ideally suited to enable poetry to continue speaking, even in a dimension beyond language.” Eduardo Espina, author of The Milli Vanilli Condition: Essays on Culture in the New Millennium “Comprehensive, contemporary and discerning, this is a book on fire. The organising principle is magnificent: regions that include borders and migrants, tendencies that give equal space to the already visible and the newly emerging, and figures, all of whom are crucial. The three axes cross to create a moving constellation.” Cristina Rivera Garza, Pulitzer Prize winner and Professor in Hispanic Studies, University of Houston, USA
