Gary Kern

Xenos Books

Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. Bilingual Edition. Translated from the Spanish by Jorge García-Gómez. Introduction by Gary Kern. THE POET IS A LITTLE GOD collects three small books of poetry, El espejo de agua, Poemas arcticos and Ecuatorial, plus a lecture on poetry by the famous avant-garde Chilean poet. Ars Poetica Let the verse be as a key Opening a thousand doors. A leaf falls; something is flying by; Let whatever your eyes gaze upon be created, And the soul of the hearer remain shivering. Invent new worlds and watch over your word; The adjective, when not a life-giver, kills. We are in the cycle of nerves. Like a memory The muscle hangs in the museums; Nevertheless, we have no less strength: True vigor Dwells in the head. Why do you sing the rose, oh Poets! Make it blossom in the poem; Only for us Live all things under the Sun. The Poet is a little God.

Poetry, Latino/Latina Studies. Bilingual edition; first English translation. SCARECROW is indescribable. It is so spectacularly original that even though alerted by advance notice, the reader will still be surprised by it more than anything else he or she might have ever read. "It appears that I am living,/ that I exist amid this noise,/That I can see these walls,/ that these hands are mine,/ but perhaps I am mistaken / and walls and hands/ are only things remembered / from a former life."

Scarecrow & Other Anomalies

Girondo, Oliverio

Poetry. Bilingual Edition. Translated from the Italian by Sonia Raiziss. "ANONYMOUS CONSTELLATION follows an evolutionary pattern: it starts with iconic reflections on primordial cosmic life, proceeds to meditations on human history and ends with statements about the poet himself. Evolution is thus both a theme and a structural element of the collection." But with characteristic originality, De Palchi defies the idea of evolutionary progress, asserting instead that "violence levels all creatures and brings them back to their primeval state." The cycle of poems thus presents a view of history turned upside down: history does not instruct, does not help, but only repeats the great struggle, pitting human beings against other human beings, human beings against animals, animals against other animals. These are poems that stun and compel reflection."—Alessandro Vettori, Professor of Italian and Comparative Literature Rutgers University
