Volcanic Reflections: A Bilingual Anthology of Contemporary
Ecuadorian Poetry is the third in a series of books that aspires to
address a dearth of information in the English-speaking world about
South American poetry of the past thirty years. The nineteen
outstanding poets included here represent a wide diversity of
themes, styles, and perspectives in one of South America's smaller
nations. All of them have published extensively, have been
recognized through literary awards and inclusion in national and
international anthologies, and continue writing and publishing
today. For readers unfamiliar with Ecuador, the Introduction
provides a brief background of its geography, history, politics,
economy, and society. This is followed by an ample selection of
representative poems published previously in Spanish, with
translations in English on facing pages. The book concludes with a
brief biographical sketch of each poet and an unprecedented
bibliography of primary and secondary sources for those readers who
might want to pursue further reading or research on any poet of
interest. Contemporary Uruguayan Poetry: A Bilingual Anthology and
Exotic Territory: A Bilingual Anthology of Contemporary Paraguayan
Anthology are two companion volumes that offer similar exposure to
poetry that deserves to be better known in the English-speaking
world.
