Reviews
Although Sosa is Honduras's leading contemporary poet, he is far from a household name beyond his homeland. Publication of this bilingual collection, which offers a well-chosen, representative selection from all nine of his poetic works, is an important step toward ending that undeserved neglect. The trajectory of Sosa's work moves from the experimental "Calligrams" to the political commitment of his middle period, then modulates to the erotic "The Lifted Mask" and the elegiac "The Weeping of Things." Through this thematic variety, Sosa maintains a simple, short, direct style, as exemplified by the fundamental "My Father," which the translations accurately convey. By their very nature, these verses outlast and transcend the political vicissitudes of both the poet and the state that engendered them. A much more diverse offering than the previous Difficult Days (LJ 9/15/83), this is likely to be Sosa's definitive collection in English for some time to come.
