Produktbeschreibung
Itinerario del olvido / Itinerary of Forgetting is a sixteen-part series from Nelson Simón's award-winning collection A la sombra de los muchachos en flor, which won both the Julián del Casal Poetry Prize from La Unión de Escritores y Artistas de Cuba and later the Premio de la Crítica Literaria. Itinerary of Forgetting is Simón's first publication in English and has been translated by Lawrence Schimel. Simón's work tackles both homosexuality & politics (an act both bold and brave for an openly gay writer in Cuba in the late 90s) while at the same time situating itself within the lyric traditions of both Cuba and the larger Spanish-speaking world. Poems from these translations have appeared in Modern Poetry in Translation and Cigar City Poetry Journal. The chapbook will have poems printed in translation in English as well as in the original Spanish.
