The Blinding Star
Poetry. Latinx Studies. Translated by Lisa Allen Ortiz and Sara Daniele Rivera. THE BLINDING STAR collects selected new translations of poems by the Peruvian poet Blanca Varela and includes two of her most experimental works in their entirety: The Book of Clay and Animal Concert. Although Varela has been categorized as a surrealist, this collection reframes her work as existentially feminist. There is nothing arbitrary in Varela's serrated language and carnal obsessions. She is telling the story of a woman's liminal being--her body as both a vessel of expectations and a vast unmapped interior. Octavio Paz described Varela's work as "Both the wound and the knife," and this collection emphasizes the duality of her poetry. These poems journey inward through dark gardens to expose the wound of grief and outward again with sharp clarity. Blanca Varela is a singular artist, furiously searching for fragments of brightness in the merciless landscape of her own mind.
Against Professional Secrets
Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. Bilingual Edition. Translated from the Spanish by Joseph Mulligan. "Cesar Vallejo is indispensable to the Latin American experimental tradition and one of the first Peruvian poets to become a reference point for American writers. In AGAINST PROFESSIONAL SECRETS Vallejo cannibalizes the European tradition and transforms it into an American experience. Joseph Mulligan's exceptional translation opens up that dialogue to English, to a new readership, and to the present" Ernesto Livon-Grosman."

Esperanza en Las Tinieblas
Powerful poetry, in stark, beautiful language, which paints portraits of the Peruvian poor, their courage, their life and their hopes as seen by one who lives with them and loves them. Valuable reading.
