The Azure Cloister: Thirty-Five Poems Belli Carlos Germn
New translations of poems by prominent Peruvian poet Carlos Germ n Belli.This selection of poems by internationally renowned Peruvian poet Carlos Germ n Belli tempers a dark, ironic vision of worldly injustice with the "red midnight sun" of hope. These thirty-five poems explore public and domestic spaces of confinement and freedom, from paralysis to the ease of a bird in its "azure cloister."Translations by Karl Maurer retain Belli's original meter, follow his complex syntax, and meet the challenges of his poetic language, which ranges from colloquial Peruvian slang to the ironic use of seventeenth-century Spanish. Belli's contemplative verses express faith in language, in bodily joy, and in artistic form.
Beyond introducing American readers to a major presence in world poetry, This volume also includes notes and reflections on Belli and on the art of translation.
