No Shelter
Celebrated American poet Forrest Gander offers the brilliance of Mexican poet Pura Lopez-Colome in an exquisite English translation. In genre-breaking forms, Lopez-Colome uses spare, searing language to explore the music of dream, faith and faithlessness, history and memory. In the words of Forrest Gander, "Lopez-Colome's poetry is philosophical and exacting, pared into short, sharp lines, obsidian flakes." The fierce intelligence and insistent moral and spiritual engagement of Lopez-Colome's poetry situate her among the most significant contemporary Mexican poets.
Watchword
Intimate, intense poems forge a language for life when life is at stake In her most recent book, Watchword—the winner of the Villaurrutia, Mexico's most esteemed literary prize—acclaimed poet Pura López Colomé writes of life at its brink with fierce honesty and an unblinking eye. This work shares the darkness, intensity, and skeptical hope of Thomas Hardy's great poems. Like them, López Colomé's poems have flashes of secular mysticism, sparked from language itself, which generate unforgettable passages and give voice to a world familiar and odd, wounded and buoyant. In the energy and intensity of her work and in her exhilarating words, we discover both a line of conduct and the source for a richer life. This bilingual edition features the poems en face in Spanish and English.
Reversible Monuments
A sweeping and exhaustive overview of contemporary Mexican poetry.
Immanent Visitor
Immanent Visitor is the first English-language translation of the work of Bolivia's greatest and most visionary twentieth-century poet. A poète maudit, Jaime Saenz rejected the conventions of polite society and became a monk in service of his own imagination. Apocalyptic and occult in his politics, a denizen of slum taverns, unashamedly bisexual, insistently nocturnal in his artistic affairs, and secretive in his leadership of a select group of writers, Saenz mixed the mystical and baroque with the fantastic, the psychological, and the symbolic. In masterly translations by two poet-translators, Kent Johnson and Forrest Gander, Saenz's strange, innovative, and wildly lyrical poems reveal a l...
Firefly Under the Tongue
A brilliantly translated bilingual edition of poems by one of Mexico's foremost woman poets.
Pura López Colomé
Pura López Colomé tiene una relación muy singular y rigurosa con el lenguaje ya que sus poemas requieren una lectura muy atenta y exigente. La poesía atraviesa de pies a cabeza a esta poeta mexicana. El lenguaje es el instrumento adecuado para indagar y escudriñar recuerdos, revivir vivencias que han quedado en la mente de la poeta atrapados en el silencio. Así la palabra se vuelve música.
Twice Alive
An exciting new book about renewal by the winner of the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry In the searing poems of his new collection, Twice Alive, the Pulitzer Prize–winner Forrest Gander addresses the exigencies of our historical moment and the intimacies, personal and environmental, that bind us to others and to the world. Drawing from his training in geology and his immersion in Sangam literary traditions, Gander invests these poems with an emotional intensity that illuminates our deep-tangled interrelations. While conducting fieldwork with a celebrated mycologist, Gander links human intimacy with the transformative collaborations between species that compose lichens. Throughout Twice Alive, Gander addresses personal and ecological trauma—several poems focus on the devastation wrought by wildfires in California where he lives—but his tone is overwhelmingly celebratory. Twice Alive is a book charged with exultation and tenderness.
Be With
WINNER OF THE 2019 PULITZER PRIZE IN POETRY LONGLISTED FOR THE 2018 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD Publishers Weekly Best Poetry Book of 2018 Forrest Gander’s first book of poems since his Pulitzer finalist Core Samples from the World: a startling look through loss, grief, and regret into the exquisite nature of intimacy Drawing from his experience as a translator, Forrest Gander includes in the first, powerfully elegiac section a version of a poem by the Spanish mystical poet St. John of the Cross. He continues with a long multilingual poem examining the syncretic geological and cultural history of the U.S. border with Mexico. The poems of the third section—a moving transcription of Gander’s efforts to address his mother dying of Alzheimer’s—rise from the page like hymns, transforming slowly from reverence to revelation. Gander has been called one of our most formally restless poets, and these new poems express a characteristically tensile energy and, as one critic noted, “the most eclectic diction since Hart Crane.”

The Ground Aslant
Recent years have seen the arrival of new approaches to writing about landscape. Partly to do with new eco-sensibilities, this is however also due to a realisation that landscape writing need not be confined to literary tourism, and to the injection of radical poetic styles. This is the first volume to engage with this new wave of writing.
