Part of the New Directions Poetry Pamphlet series, the first English publication by a Latin American legend
Virtually unknown in the English-speaking world, Girondo is one of the pioneers of Latin American literature. This selection offers a glimpse of a precise and playful writer who insisted that a poem “should be constructed like a watch and sold like a sausage.”"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
About the Author
Oliverio Girondo was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1891, and the author of seven innovative books of poetry. He traveled often to Europe where he forged ties with the French Symbolists and the Spanish avant-garde. Girondo eventually died from injuries sustained in a 1964 car accident in 1967.
Heather Cleary won a PEN Translation Fund Award for her translations of Girondo.
