Isbn: 9780872862425 - Poems of Arab Andalusia (25 results)

Blow dust from the folios of the vanished Moors & be stabbed by the URGENT NECESSITY of light-dappled fountains, the fractals of the garden, the transmutations of desire." -Peter Lamborn Wilson, author of Ploughing the Clouds Cola Franzen has translated from Spanish some twenty volumes of prose and poetry, including Claudia Guillen's The Challenge of Comparative Literature, and Dreams of the Abandoned Seducer by Alicia Borinsky.…
