Antonio Porchia’s ‘Voices’: A Timeless Collection of Poetic Reflections

Description

Translated by W.S. Merwin. Copper Canyon Press (paperback, 2003)

Publisher Marketing: Antonio Porchia (1886-1968) wrote one book, a slender collection of poetic aphorisms that became a classic in the Spanish-speaking world. With affinities to Taoist and Buddhist epigrams, Voices bears witness to the awe of human existence. Revised and updated with a new introduction by translator W.S. Merwin, this bilingual volume brings back into print one of Latin America’s great literary treasures.
