“To read the Spanish original and the English translation is a special treat, as the work shimmers in both and captivates the reader through new ways of seeing and experiencing the world.”
The Invisible Borders of Time:
Five Female Latin American Poets
The Invisible Borders of Time: Five Female Latin American Poets is a new anthology edited by Venezuelan-born editor and poet Nidia Hernández. In this collection, Hernández, winner of the Sundara Ramaswamy prize for The Land of Mild Light: Selected Poems of Rafael Cadenas, gathers the voices of Cristina Peri Rossi (Uruguay), Piedad Bonnett (Colombia), Yolanda Pantin (Venezuela), Carmen Boullosa (Mexico), and Rossella Di Paolo (Peru)—five award-winning Latin American poets— into a definitive bilingual anthology. This collection, representative of the region’s rich poetic history, samples the poetry of trailblazing female voices from the last sixty years. Many celebrated poets and translators have brought this edition into English, including Sophie Cabot Black, Forrest Gander, Sally Keith, Rowena Hill, and many others.
