Undressing The Night. Selected Poems. Bilingual

This bilingual edition of poems by Nicaraguan-Canadian poet Francisco Santos brings a generous selectionof the entire range of his petry for the first time to English readers. Santo's writing is steeped in literary traditions as diverse as Latin American surrealism, European modernism and the Beats. Like many of his generation, he left the political and economic turmoil of his native land and moved north, in his case, to Toronto, Canada. The result is a rich poetry of fusion, fracture, tension and surprise, rendered into highly readable English through Brian Campbell's inspired translations.
