This collection marks the long overdue introduction of a major Latin American poet to English-language readers

Acclaimed Argentinian poet Roberta Iannamico’s Many Poems animates the particulars of an imaginary world that lives deeply inside our real one, tapping into poetry’s distinctive ability to magically transform daily scenes into purely ecstatic visions. A lonely winter day, the methods of lighting a cigarette, a gentle rain, a naked woman asleep in a field–whether the world of Iannamico’s poems is wide awake or asleep (or sometimes both), she softly imbues a dreamlike quality into every line. Masterfully translated by Alexis Almeida, Many Poems is Iannamico’s first full-length book to be published in English.
