Distinctive and innovatory, contemporary Galician poetry has a
strong presence on the literary scene of Spain, continuing a
centuries-old unbroken line of literary creation in the language of
the region. In the thirteenth anthology in this series, we are
presented with work written in the last thirty years by six
talented and highly individual Galician poets. Two of them, Xose
Maria Alvarez Caccamo and Chus Pato, already have established
literary careers, while the four younger writers are rapidly
gaining recognition through recently published collections and
prize awards. Having chosen six poets who are characterized by
their constant examination of literary forms and exploration of new
conceptual worlds, the editor, Manuela Palacios, has asked the
poets themselves to make a choice from their own work for the
anthology. The result is a collection of poems that grow from roots
firmly planted in home soil but which reach out and flourish beyond
the boundaries of a single literary tradition. Keith Payne's
accomplished translation allows English-language readers access to
this unfamiliar but infinitely exciting territory.
