The scope and quality of the translations, by some of America's finest poets, mark the centrality of his work on the map of modern poetry. Aridjis's sources range from Nahuatl chants and Huichol initiation songs to San Juan de la Cruz and the 16th-century Spanish poet Luis de Gangora y Argote. He is, in the words of translator George McWhirter, \"a troubadour of love for lost environments, a voice in the wilderness of Mexico City and Mexico.\" Included in this selection are poems by Aridjis evoking his own life, present and past, his memories always sticking close to his birthplace Contepec, where, on Altamirano Hill, the Monarch butterflies arrive each year. This long awaited \u003ci\u003eSelected Poems\u003c\/i\u003e enables the reader to witness, from his 1960 collection \u003ci\u003eThe Eyes of a Double Vision\u003c\/i\u003e to new unpublished poemsin a bilingual editionthe poetic and personal evolution of this \"visionary poet of lyrical bliss, crystalline concentrations and infinite spaces\" (Kenneth Rexroth). Translated by Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Martha Black Jordan, Philip Lamantia, W.S. Merwin, John Frederick Nims, Kenneth Rexroth, Jerome Rothenberg, Brian Swann, Barbara Szerlip, Nathaniel Tarn, Eliot Weinberger, and the editors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Directions Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/17\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811215091\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.06h x 5.30w x 0.91d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/18\/2002 pg. 92\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCriticas\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2002 pg. 52\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMulticultural Review\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2002 pg. 73\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/29\/2002\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Homero Aridjis,Betty Ferber,George McWhirter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52360387559605,"sku":"9780811215091","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_ceb0a6cb-8025-4b1f-9f99-65af72dcfebd.jpg?v=1773720479","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/eyes-to-see-otherwise-poetry-9780811215091","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
