Latin America has always been a full contributor to the rich poetic
tradition of the Spanish language. Even before the arrival of the
Spanish, the native peoples of Central and South America had a
poetic idiom of their own. This bilingual anthology for young
readers, containing sixty-four poems from nineteen countries,
presents a fascinating mix of established and new poets. A
significant portion of the book comes from the native community.
Traditional pre-Colombian work is represented alongside that of
young indigenous poets, who are writing some of the most exciting
and fresh poetry in the Americas today. With beautiful
black-and-white illustrations by Colombian illustrator Rafael
Yockteng, the book provides an outstanding introduction to a rich
poetic tradition and an engaging way for young readers to encounter
poetry.
