This collection marks the long overdue introduction of a major Latin American poet to English-language readers
Acclaimed Argentinian poet Roberta Iannamico's Many Poems animates the particulars of an imaginary world that lives deeply inside our real one, tapping into poetry's distinctive ability to magically transform daily scenes into purely ecstatic visions. A lonely winter day, the methods of lighting a cigarette, a gentle rain, a naked woman asleep in a field--whether the world of Iannamico's poems is wide awake or asleep (or sometimes both), she softly imbues a dreamlike quality into every line. Masterfully translated by Alexis Almeida, Many Poems is Iannamico's first full-length book to be published in English.
Alexis Almeida is the author of the chapbooks Things I Have Made a Fiction (2024, winner of the Oversound chapbook contest) and I Have Never Been Able to Sing (Ugly Ducking Presse 2018). Her first full-length book, Caetano, is forthcoming in 2025 with The Elephants. She teaches at the Bard Microcollege at the Brooklyn Public Library and edits 18 Owls Press.
