Like A New Sun showcases the vibrant contemporary poetry being written in indigenous Mexican languages. Featuring poets writing in Huasteca, Nahuatl, Isthmus Zapotec, Mazatec, Tsotsil, Yucatec Maya, and Zoque, this groundbreaking anthology introduces readers to six of the most dynamic indigenous Mexican poets writing today. Co-edited by Isthmus Zapotec poet V?tor Ter畭acute;n and translator David Shook, this groundbreaking anthology introduces six indigenous Mexican poets -- three women and three men -- each writing in a different language. Well-established names like Juan Gregorio Regino (Mazatec) appear alongside exciting new voices like Mikeas S疣chez (Zoque). Each poet's work is contextualized and introduced by its translator. Poets include V?tor Ter畭acute;n (Isthmus Zapotec), Mikeas S疣chez (Zoque), Juan Gregorio Regino (Mazatec), Juan Hern疣dez (Huastecan Nahuatl), Briceida Cuevas Cob (Yucatec Maya), and Enriqueta Lunez (Tsotsil). Translators include Adam Coon, Jonathan Harrington, Jerome Rothenberg, David Shook, Clare Sullivan, and Eliot Weinberger.
