About the Book

The English debut of one of Uruguay's most acclaimed living poets.

Silvia Guerra is among the most influential figures in Uruguayan poetry today. This translation, a panoramic selection of poems from nine books, presents Guerra as one of Latin America's dauntless poets of language. This tour-de-force translation engages Guerra's stunning range of forms and tendencies--neopastoral, neobarrocoand even a fictional biography of Lautréamont--while joining the poet as she courts complexity, opacity, nothingness, and the sublime.

"'Translation is an experience of encounter, ' as Jesse Lee Kercheval and Jeannine Marie Pitas write in their afterword to this luminous, often surprising translation from Silvia Guerra's complex body of poetry. Their work--like and with Guerra's--enacts encounters not only between languages, but between sounds and subjectivities, human and nonhuman collaborators, the many meanings contained in a single word. To read Guerra's poetry is to dive into a shared interiority. We are lucky to have this translation that enfolds us, in the words of one of the poems, into '[t]he very center of things.'"--Janet Hendrickson, translator of Treasure Of The Castilian Or Spanish Language

"The poems in A SEA AT DAWN, in both the original Spanish and Pitas and Kercheval's illuminating translation, are a profound gift for English language readers' first encounter with Silvia Guerra's poetry. This collection introduces the vast poetic scope, the fascinating musicality, and the often beautifully incomprehensible syntax of one of Uruguay's significant contemporary poets. My gratitude to Pitas and Kercheval for not only providing us this generous sample of Guerra's oeuvre but also for their insightful Afterword--read it first!--which provides an important cipher for understanding Guerra's poetics and their translation practice, ultimately bringing us closer to an experience of 'the final edge of those chambers/ a reverberation...the speech of a secret world.'"--Curtis Bauer, author of American Selfie

Poetry. Latinx Studies.
