"Eyes To See Otherwise" is the first extensive selection of poems
by leading Mexican poet Homero Aridjis to appear in English. The
range and quality of the translations, by some of America's finest
poets, mark the centrality of his work on the map of modern poetry.
W.S. Merwin writes, "In his early books, it was immediately clear
that Homero Aridjis was a poet of great vitality and originality
...[his] range grew with astonishing vigour in one book after
another ...Poems of his have been published in English translation
for decades but it is more than time to have a large, widely
representative selection of his poems available in English".
Charles Tomlinson recalls, "When I first met Homero Aridjis, he was
a youthful poet. He has carried that sense of youth with him
throughout his life and it has left a mark on all his work. Born in
a Mexican village, near which the monarch butterflies swarm yearly
after their flight from Canada, he experienced early life in a
profound relationship with the cycles of nature. This lies at the
root of his two principal concerns, poetry and ecology. He not only
writes of the whale, but has long fought for the protection of its
breeding places in Baja California". Kenneth Rexroth calls him "a
visionary poet of lyrical bliss, crystalline concentrations and
infinite spaces". He adds, "These are words for a new "Magic
Flute"".
