Her surreal and fable-like prose poems invite comparison to Franz Kafka, Julio Cort zar, or even contemporary American poets Russell Edson and Charles Simic. But di Giorgio's voice, imagery, and themes--childhood, the Uruguayan countryside, a perception of the sacred--are her own. Previously written off as \"the mad woman of Uruguayan letters,\" di Giorgio's reputation has blossomed in recent years. Translator Adam Giannelli's careful selection of poems spans the enormous output of di Giorgio's career to help further introduce English-language readers to this vibrant and original voice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarosa di Giorgio\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Salto, Uruguay, in 1932.
