{"product_id":"the-oxford-book-of-latin-american-poetry","title":"The Oxford Book of Latin American Poetry","description":"\u003cp\u003eHere is the first anthology to present a full range of multilingual poetries from Latin America  covering over 500 years of a poetic tradition as varied  robust  and vividly imaginative as any in the world. Editors Cecilia Vicua and Ernesto Livon-Grosman present a fresh and expansive selection of Latin American poetry  from the indigenous responses to the European conquest  through early feminist poetry of the 19th century  the early 20th century \"Modernismo\" and \"Vanguardia\" movements  later revolutionary and liberation poetry of the 1960s  right up to the experimental  visual and oral poetries being written and performed today. Here readers will find several types of poetry typically overlooked in major anthologies  such as works written or chanted in their native languages  the vibrant mestizo (mixed) creations derived from the rich matrix of spoken language in Latin America  and even the mysterious verses written in made-up languages. In addition to the giants of Latin American poetry  such as Csar Vallejo  Vicente Huidobro  Pablo Neruda  Octavio Paz  Haroldo and Augusto de Campos  and Gabriela Mistral  the editors have included a selection of vital but lesser known poets such as Pablo de Rohka  Blanca Varela  and Cecilia Meireles  as well as previously untranslated works by Sim n Rodrguez  Bartolom Hidalgo  Oliverio Girondo  Rosa Araneda  and many others. In all  the anthology presents more than 120 poets  many in new translations--by Jerome Rothenberg  W.S. Merwin  and Forrest Gander  and others--specially commissioned for this anthology  and each accompanied by a biographical note. The book features both English and original language versions of the poems  a full bibliography  and an introduction by the editors. Sure to stand as the definitive anthology for decades to come  The Oxford Book of Latin American Poetry remaps the territory  offering new ways of looking at a poetry as diverse and complex as Latin America itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44962971123765,"sku":"ByrdShop_0195124545","price":69.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780195124545.jpg?v=1770402076","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-oxford-book-of-latin-american-poetry","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
