Winner 2004 International Octavio Paz Prize for Poetry. Featuring
"La Tierra Giro para Acercarnos" (The Earth Turned to Bring Us
Closer) from the Oscar-nominated film 21 Grams, this new
translation of selected poems and prose by Venezuela's leading poet
Eugenio Montejo is translated from the original Spanish by
Australian poet Peter Boyle. Covering Montejo's work from the 1960s
to 2004 this major selection deals with universal themes of loss,
death, family and love as well as reflecting on humanity's
relationship to nature in an ever more materialistic and urbanized
world. Montejo's poetry would be of special interest to all readers
of poetry as well as to those interested in understanding a Latin
American perspective on modernization and globalization.
