The collection is a hymn to desire, and to the ecstasy and pain of love, each poem aching with the yearning for connection. It's also a hymn to the imagination, and Maranhão's love of linguistic play and paradox makes these poems difficult to translate. Levitin's finely nuanced, inspired renderings are, however, as wondrous as the originals. One cannot read this collection without being marked, eyes ablaze and singed with the poet's vision.\"--Sheryl St Germain\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Alexis Levitin has given us a perfect English rendering of Salgado Maranhão's deft expression of the tonality of this people and land.\"--Gregory Rabassa\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSalgado Maranhão \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of nine collections of poems. \u003ci\u003eBlood of the Sun \u003c\/i\u003epreviously appeared in English translation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlexis Levitin \u003c\/b\u003ehas translated thirty-one books of poetry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Salgado Maranhao\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1935210718\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781935210719\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e White Pine Press (NY)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.80w x 0.40d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salgado Maranhao","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46372463902975,"sku":"9781935210719","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_493e9995-059f-45b5-a23e-d487949dc678.jpg?v=1732726019","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tiger-fur-salgado-maranhao-9781935210719","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
