Santiago Gamboa Return to the Dark Valley Theogony and revolution have equal place in these poems, where myth is revisited and reenvisioned in Fraga’s own deeply symbolic landscape, the visceral merging into the erotic and the primal occult resurging at every turn. Myriam Fraga Purifications or the Sign of Retaliationīeautifully rendered here in a prizewinning English translation, this collection from the late Brazilian poet Myriam Fraga is awash in history and memory.
An ordinary man, Cyril finds himself face to face with some of the largest events in recent Irish history in this story that toes the line between heartbreak and humor as well as the personal and social. John Boyne has created a grand narrative that spans decades of Irish history through the life of a man named Cyril Avery struggling with his own identity and sexuality. Well preserved in translation, with the original waiting in the latter half of the book, Berenguer’s latest volume has aptly been called “quickening, rhythmic, and hallucinatory” it is not the kind of book one reads but the kind one tumbles into.
My Lai is a barely constrained meditation in the language of the mind, associative and unpunctuated, sometimes disordered. Chilean poet and artist Carmen Berenguer lets poetry, prose, epigraph, and design run together-almost.
