| Publisher Description: So extraordinarily clear, so connected to the primitive I imagine I am . . . participating in a vision already lost to the world. --William Carlos Williams The microgram is collected, pondered upon, and defined in this quiet classic of Ecuadorian literature. In the alphabet of things Jorge Carrera Andrade (1902-1978) has been recognized as one of the most important Latin American poets of the twentieth century. Alejandro de Acosta and Joshua Beckman co-translated Carlos Oquendo de Amat's 5 Meters of Poems. Beckman's translation of Tomaz Salamun's Poker was a finalist for the PEN/America Poetry in Translation Award. |
