The Conjurer (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781911469780)

The Conjurer is Pedro Serrano's second book from Arc, and includes work drawn from his three published collections in Mexico as well as unpublished work. These are powerful poems which explore the natural world in all its wonder with a close and meticulous attention that transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. Serrano's rich and complex lexicon and his mastery of poetic form, metaphor and diction are perfectly captured in Anna Crowe's sensitive and compelling translation - for those who have not encountered Serrano's poetry before, this is an unmissable introduction to the work of one of Mexico's leading contemporary poets.
