Hugo Mujica is one of Argentina's top intellectuals and a leading
poet in Spanish. His award-winning poetry has been published in 15
countries. This bilingual edition offers the English-speaking
reader for the first time a representative selection of all of his
poetry, where idea and feeling, synthesis and eloquence, truth and
beauty come together.
Paradise Empty brings together a wide selection of poetry from
eleven collections by Hugo Mujica, one of Argentina's most renowned
and respected poets. Mujica's work might be described as the poetry
of thought. There is nothing superfluous in his poems - his images
are crystal clear, his rhythms simple, his language precise - and
their impact, in terms of both words and the silences between
words, is powerful. Although his poetry is already well-known
throughout South and Central America and in many European
countries, Paradise Empty is the first collection of Mujica's work
to be published in the UK, and in this beautifully modulated
translation by Katherine M. Hedeen and the poet Victor Rodriguez
Nunez, it is sure to resonate with English-language readers.
