Beskrivning

Poetic Encounters in the Americas: Remarkable Bridge examines the ways in which U.S. and Latin American modernist canons have been in cross-cultural, mutually enabling conversation, especially through the act of literary translation. Examining eighteen U.S. and Latin American poets, my book is one of the few works of criticism to present case studies in U.S. and Latin American poetries in dialogues that highlight the social life and imaginative encounters obtained through methodologies of translation and innovations in poetic technique.

Recensioner i media

Remarkable Bridge is an important new examination of ways in which the act of translating other authors’ poetry can and does change the translator’s own poetic works. By focusing on the Latin American/United States connection, Ramos highlights the importance of cross-cultural influences between poets in both places, bringing to light previously unexplored confluences between poets such as James Wright and César Vallejo, Muriel Rukeyser and Octavio Paz, and Robert Lowell and Heberto Padilla. This book is essential reading for anyone interested not only in cross-cultural influences, translation studies, or comparative literature, but also in poetics and literary aesthetics in general. – Wendy Galgan, Ph.D., Saint Joseph’s College (Standish, Maine)
