The History of Violets

Marosa Di Giorgio
4.34/5 (73 ratings)
Read Now Download Now
Bilingual poetry book in Spanish and English. "Originally published in 1965, The History of Violets (Historial de las violetas) twists the familiar face of a family farm, populating the fields and grounds with gods, monsters, and a whole "foamy army" of extras. Di Giorgio—whom Kent Johnson hails as "one of the most spectacular and strange Latin American poets of the past fifty years"—locks the natural and supernatural in a perilous dance, balancing humor and violence, beauty and danger, simple childhood memory and complex domestic drama. With disarming grace, these poems leave the reader swirling about, among the flowers, where no one is safe." (From Ugly Duckling Presse's webpage at http://www.uglyducklingpresse.org/cat...)
