Poetry. Anthology. Latinx Studies. TRUSTING ON THE WIDE AIR: POEMS OF URUGUAY gathers together the best of contemporary and historical Uruguayan poetry. The anthology's title comes from the Jules Supervielle's poem "Montevideo" where "The scent of eucalyptus / Trusted itself to the wide air" and in these poems we smell the eucalyptus and jacaranda, taste the mate and sweet alfajores, hear the candombe drums, and feel what it means to be in Uruguay. "Surprising and illuminating, TRUSTING ON THE WIDE AIR: POEMS OF URUGUAY invites the reader to visit this small South American country through its poetry--to listen to its poets, generation on generation, in conversation with one another. A book for poets, poetry lovers, and readers who want to hear the rhythms of carnival, to walk along sand beaches and drink in lonely cafes, to travel to far towns and cities in an instant. A delight!"--Ron Wallace "For several years now, through the poets they have translated and the anthologies they each have edited, Jesse Lee Kercheval and Laura Chalar have been doing readers in the US an enormous service by bringing us an astonishing range of poetry from Uruguay. TRUSTING ON THE WIDE AIR: POEMS OF URUGUAY serves up another welcome helping from this small nation with outsized poetic resources."--Geoffrey Brock "For readers who've never visited the smallest country in South America, this anthology offers rich insight into a new destination; for those well-versed with the country, the book offers a study of Uruguay renewed. Moving from description to declaration, meditation to assertion, TRUSTING ON THE WIDE AIR: POEMS OF URUGUAY's greatest gift, perhaps, is that its poetry transcends the record of landscape and memory."--Shara Lessley "More than one hundred years of extraordinary poets fill these pages... From the long-established resident to the nostalgic emigrant and the enamored visitor, these authors paint with verse their impressions of the music of candombe and the rituals of daily life, the architecture and history of Montevideo with its Parisian splendor and urban squalor, the sea of a river that forms its port and bay, and the flora and fauna that grace its countryside."--Lisa Rose Bradford

"The editor of this anthology addresses this literary omission by identifying seventeen Uruguayans deserving of recognition: Jorge Arbeleche, Nancy Bacelo, Washington Benavides, Mario Benedetti, Amanda Berenguer, Luis Bravo, Selva Casal, Rafael Courtoisie, Marosa Di Giorgio, Enrique Fierro, Alfredo Fressia, Saul Ibargoyen, Circe Maia, Jorge Meretta, Eduardo Milan, Alvaro Miranda, and Salvador Puig. The selection of these poets is based on extensive research and personal taste, but also because they have a recognized, sustained record of published books of poetry, especially during the 1990s; they have been favorably acknowledged for their work by peers and critics--through reviews and interviews in local news media; they have received recognition through national or international literary awards; and, for the most part, they are still active as poets in the new millennium. Furthermore, they comprise a representative cross section of diverse generations, perspectives, themes, and poetics extant in today's poetry in Uruguay." "Each of the poets is represented by a selection of original poems in Spanish to demonstrate the diversity of their expression and English translations to render them meaningful for both English and Spanish reading publics. The extensive bibliographies of primary and secondary sources of each poet is unprecedented; hopefully it will serve as a guide to encourage research on this neglected area of Spanish American literature. There is currently no canon of contemporary Uruguayan poets, but this project is intended to provide a meaningful step toward opening a discussion of such a canon."--BOOK JACKET.

Poetry. Latinx Studies. Translated by Laura Cesarco Eglin and Jesse Lee Kercheval. NIGHT IN THE NORTH is an autobiographical long poem that chronicles the author's experience growing up in Artigas, Uruguay, a linguistic and cultural borderland nestled between Brazil and Argentina. In a series of stark scenes, Severo revisits moments from his childhood--sketching a rare map of the subtle, yet violent, mechanisms that marginalize culturally specific communities. A luminous meditation on poverty and imaginative possibility. "The speaker of Fabián Severo's remarkable book narrates the struggles of a life lived in a provincial town in Uruguay, but it is not the hardships that a reader will remember, but the hopes, the tender interiority, the intimate knowledge of a place this remarkable poet de-scribes. Rendered in precise and elegant English by Eglin and Kercheval, this book will be a revelation to American readers as it introduces a voice on uncommon clarity and sensitivity, both retrospective and pinned to a hopeful future, from a poet of great expressive gifts."--Mark Wunderlich "'Life is like that / the less you have / the more you dream, ' Fabián Severo's whimsical yet somber, realistic, and tireless narrator states. Written from a place called Artigas, border terrain not possessed by the people who inhabit it, in a language that 'flies loose and free through the sky, ' these poems, so adeptly translated by Laura Cesarco Eglin and Jesse Lee Kercheval, address troubles of poverty, displacement, and abuse in surprisingly simple yet forceful, elegant language. I too wonder 'if God exists / and we are all his children / how can there be a place you're not allowed in?'"--Curtis Bauer "'María always tells the same story, / and her face becomes so happy / that one is filled with sadness.' Such are the many-layered emotional resonances in Fabián Severo's astonishing collection NIGHT IN THE NORTH, which follows the narrator as he records memories of daily life in a small border town in Uruguay. I am in awe of the tender intimacy Severo captures between people living through and into poverty and hardship, in the small tokens that illuminate both sorrow and richness. In sharp and precise language, Laura Cesarco Eglin and Jesse Lee Kercheval bring a much-needed voice into American literature."--Lauren Shapiro

Poetry. Translation. Latino/Latina Studies. TOUCHING THE LIGHT OF DAY: SIX URUGUAYAN POETS is a bilingual anthology of poems by well-known 20th-century Uruguayan poets. Save for the occasional soccer-related news, Uruguay is seldom featured in the media and little more than a name in the minds of most readers. The same happens with the greater part of its writers, very few of whom have been translated into foreign languages. This substantial anthology, drawing from the work of some of the country's most beloved poets, attempts to remedy that omission, presenting a vibrant and luminous selection that takes the reader from lush poems inspired by the classical antiquity to austere and introspective urban pieces deeply rooted in the local culture--with much more in between. Ably and sensitively translated by Laura Chalar, a contemporary Uruguayan writer, and accompanied by insightful introductions by the Uruguayan scholar Gerardo Ferreira, the works in TOUCHING THE LIGHT OF DAY: SIX URUGUAYAN POETS offer an exciting opportunity to visit, via its literature, a country too often overlooked by travelers and readers alike. Contributors: Julio Herrera y Reissig, Susana Soca, Alfredo Mario Ferreiro, Líber Falco, Pedro Piccatto, and Humberto Megget.

Poetry. Women's Studies. AMERICA THAT ISLAND OFF THE COAST OF FRANCE speaks to the impossibility of emigration, of ever being the citizen of only one country. Born in France, raised in Florida, Kercheval now divides her time between the U.S. and Uruguay. The poems hurtle across literary and linguistic borders toward a lyricism that slows down experience to create a new form of elegiac memoir. Against the backdrops of Paris, Montevideo, and Florida, the poems explore citizenship and homelessness, motherhood and self, family and freedom, turning over and over again the very meaning of the word home, as the poems, like the poet, make the fraught journey back and forth between America and France. As Kercheval wonders in her poem "The Red Balloon," "is leaving / ever painless? Is returning?"
