Description

This present volume is the seventh in the series and remains in the same tradition of providing translations of some of the most significant poets in the world for an audience that would not otherwise be able to read them. "I come from a land where poetry is like a tree which watches over man and where a poet is a guard who understands the rhythm of this world. He travels with history and feels the rhythm of history. By heeding this rhythm, he realizes the gaps and distances that separate man from man. I see this separation between men as a darkness which science cannot dispel despite its transformative power. Only poetry can illuminate this darkness." —Adonis (less)
