Synopsis

The Smoke of Distant Fires contains 13 new poems from the contemporary Peruvian poet, essayist, critic, translator and children's book author Eduardo Chirinos. Precisely organised and formally inventive, each poem in the collection is itself of 10 numbered stanzas, with each individual stanza standing as a fully formed poem in its own right. Altogether, a set of rhythmic, elliptical fables form a fully recognisable yet wholly original world.
