First Epistle to the Amphibians (Paperback)

Paperback. In the first selected volume of Ricardo Domeneck's work to appear in English, the acclaimed Brazilian poet constructs a hyperbolic spiral of artifice, rage, and tenderness. A consummately international poet, acclaimed poet Ricardo Domeneck centers the body 'in all its moisture and all its fluids,' while never settling on a master style. Writing with tenderness and anger about earthly experience, friendship, love, and nature, and reacting against the previous generation's anti-lyrical, impersonal poesia de invenao, Domeneck introduced a dense corporeal lyricism salted with camp at its high and low limits into contemporary Brazilian experimental poetry. First Epistle to the Amphibians, the first English-language selection of Domeneck's poetry, draws from more than two decades of his published work.
