9781781723340: The Other Tiger: Recent Poetry from Latin America

Synopsis


The Other Tiger: Contemporary Latin American Poetry is a refreshing new anthology of Spanish language contemporary poetry, focused particularly on writers born since 1945.

The collection presents an eclectic and vibrant mix of fne poetry and fne translation that opens a window on to a relatively neglected group of literary worlds. The poems are at once exotic and other yet recognizably drawing on a poetic tradition that includes Novel prize-winner Octavio Paz. They conjure big landscapes and moments of tenderness, celebrate the individual but also engage with the politics of so many repressive regimes in Latin and South America.

The Other Tiger vividly reflects the many contrasts present in the lives and literatures of the peoples of this continent.
