In pre-Colombian Mexico, song and dance were vital components of
daily life. However, all that is left of this vast tradition of
lyrical verse are fewer than 200 poems, most contained in three
codices written just after the Spanish conquest. In this new
translation, David Bowles employs the tools of English verse to
craft accessible, powerful versions of selected songs from the
Aztec and Mayan civilizations, striking a balance between the
features of the original performance and the expectations of modern
readers of poetry. With full-color illustrations, a thorough
glossary and insightful introduction, 'Flower, Song, Dance' brings
a neglected literary tradition to life for the 21st-century.
