Descriere magazin:
In his first full-length translation, celebrated poet John Murillo (Winner of the Kingsley Tufts Award and the Four Quartets Prize) brings
Rafael Alberti\'s
Concerning the
Angels ( Sobre los ángeles ) to an English-reading audience. Murillo\'s foreword introduces Sobre los ángeles as a monument--albeit a severely neglected monument--of early twentieth-century literature. Despite having penned a masterwork of social and psychic malaise as deserving as any of its place in the global canon,
Alberti has disappeared into relative obscurity among readers of English language poetry, and Murillo\'s crucial intervention allows the Spanish poet\'s voice to once again echo prophetically from this book\'s opening poem, Paradise Lost throughout the centuries, / through the nothingness of the world, / I, without sleep, search for you. Insofar as the speaker addresses a figure named Shadow, he also seems to imagine us, his future readers, who need these prescient lyrics written in the time leading up to Spain\'s civil war and ensuing decades of fascist rule. Bringing his signature gifts to translating from the Spanish, Murillo has given new life to what many consider
Alberti\'s magnum opus and delivered our marching orders for the resistance the future will require. It is time you gave me your hand / and scratched into me the little light that catches a hole as it closes / and killed for me this evil word I plan to plunge into the thawing earth.
