Hardback. Condition: New. Spanish and English. "In this brilliant bilingual anthology, William Archila creates a powerful and fiery poetics of exile, war, and, ultimately and brilliantly, survival."-Daniel Borzutzky, National Book Award winnerFrom war-torn El Salvador to the streets of LA, Canícula / Dog Days is a bold, bilingual collection chronicling exile, memory, and resilience across borders.William Archila's Canícula / Dog Days is a bilingual selection of his first two books of poetry, The Art of Exile and The Gravedigger's Archaeology, two collections that chart the emergence of a newcomer in the chorus of Latin Poetry. Canícula, which means "dog days" in English, takes the reader on a poignant journey from the unrest in El Salvador in the 1980s to the urban landscape of the US immigrant, revealing the turmoil and memory of the disempowered, the impoverished, and the displaced who struggle back home in Central America. In lyrical and often harrowing language, Archila unearths the vestiges of war and the exile's return in an elegy, the fragments of a myth, or a jazz riff. They come together like the bilateral symmetry of a volcano, and the result is the introduction to Archila's poetry for the Spanish reader."En esta brillante antología bilingüe, William Archila crea una poética poderosa y apasionada del exilio, la guerra y, en última instancia y con maestría, la supervivencia."-Daniel Borzutzky, ganador del National Book AwardDesde un El Salvador devastado por la guerra hasta las calles de Los Ángeles, Canícula / Dog Days es una antología bilingüe audaz, que narra el exilio, la memoria y la resiliencia a través de las fronteras.Canícula / Dog Days de William Archila es una selección bilingüe de sus dos primeros libros de poesía, El arte del exilio y La arqueología del sepulturero, dos poemarios que marcan el surgimiento de un nuevo referente en la poesía latina. Dog Days, que significa "canícula", lleva al lector a través de un viaje conmovedor desde la agitación en El Salvador en la década de 1980 hasta el paisaje urbano del inmigrante en los Estados Unidos, revelando la angustia y la memoria de los marginados, los empobrecidos y los desplazados, que luchan por volver a su hogar en Centroamérica. Con un lenguaje lírico y a menudo desgarrador, Archila desentierra los vestigios de la guerra y el regreso del exiliado en una elegía, en los fragmentos de un mito o en un riff de jazz. Estos se conjugan como la simetría de un volcán, y el resultado es la presentación de la poesía de Archila al lector en español.…

Condition: Very Good. : Un nombre en la canícula es una novela negra ambientada en la Guerra Civil Española, escrita por Fernando J.L. Monterrubio.
