Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. New Love Poetry / Nueva poesía de amor presents a bilingual collection by celebrated Cuban poet Nicolás Guillén, edited, translated, and accompanied by commentary from Keith Ellis. Published in 1994 by University of Toronto Press, this hardcover edition contains the Spanish poems alongside their English translations. | Guillén wrote the cycle of fifteen poems in 1966 following a rupture in his relationship with Sara Casal, to whom he dedicated the work. The manuscript remained largely unknown until after Guillén's death in 1989, when Casal entrusted it to Ellis for publication. The poems explore absence, separation, memory, and enduring affection, making this an important late-published work by one of Cuba's major twentieth-century poets. | This copy bears a cordial presentation inscription to Jeffrey and Eva, signed ?Keith? and dated 1 January 1995. The signature is attributable to Keith Ellis, the volume's editor and translator; this is not represented as an author-signed copy. | Hardcover with dust jacket, graded Very Good by the seller. The jacket is bright and presentable with light edge and corner wear, including a small crease or bump at the lower rear corner. The photographed interior pages appear clean apart from the signed inscription. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description. The book will be packaged carefully for protection in transit. | | Buyers Outside Canada - Please Note: Orders shipped outside Canada, including to the United States, may occasionally incur customs duties, import taxes, or carrier brokerage fees.
