Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. Translated from the Spanish by Yvette Neisser Moreno and Patricia Bejarano Fisher. María Teresa Ogliastri's SOUTH POLE/POLO SUR is a bilingual edition of a collection of poems that in its original Spanish has been celebrated as a triumph of the imagination. Publication of SOUTH POLE/POLO SUR presents this accomplished Venezuelan poet to English-speaking readers for the first time. Ogliastri brings her own brand of magic realism to her subject; in doing so, she has created a mythic journey imbued with ancient mythology, twentieth century cultural icons, and the immediate perspective born of her native Venezuela—and beyond. SOUTH POLE/POLO SUR is the accomplishment of an unflinching vision, the story of "an average man who treasured a dream of grandeur." It is that rare achievement, a tribute to the passion of life as it is meant to be lived in its fullest.
