Description

Marosa di Giorgio

Translated from the Spanish by Jeannine Pitas in a bilingual edition, this new translation of Marosa di Giorgio, one of Uruguay’s most famous poets, includes four book-length poems from the middle of her career: The History of Violets (1965); Magnolia (1968); The War of the Orchards (1971); and The Native Garden is in Flames (1975). These serial prose poems explore memory, familial relationships, erotic desire, and war. Marosa di Giorgio uses the recurring setting of a garden as a stage for the ongoing encounter of nature and the supernatural.
