"[Eros Is More] is a beautifully masterful collection. . . . In this book we are in the hands of two generous and beautiful poets."--Aracelis Girmay
Curtis Bauer's Spanish to English translations empower the spirit of Eros Is More, highlighting Juan Antonio Gonzalez-Iglesias' playfulness and position as agent provocateur. These poems immerse the classical within modern, urban landscapes, and redefine our interconnectedness across the ages. Language, love, and faith are central performers. Bauer masterfully emboldens them within these wise, compassionate translations. These poems wash us in fierce, unwavering love.
"Arte Po騁ica"
Si no quieres quedarte a mirar la tormenta
Yo la miro por ti.
"Ars Poetica"
If you don't want to stay and watch the storm
I will watch it for you.
