Böcker av John Gery

Prompted by the occasion of a gala poetry reading atthe University of Salamanca, Spain, in July 2019, this anthology is the firstof its kind to comprise Anglophone and Spanish speaking poets breathing lifeinto the multifarious poetic legacy of the poet Ezra Pound. Although Pound'sinfluence on diverse Anglo-American poets is well-known, this collectionfurther reveals his lesser known, yet equally vital impact on the Spanishspeaking world, which has been immense. A bilingual anthology, it includes 29poets, 13 of whom write in Spanish and 16 of whom are Anglophone. In recentdecades, the Ezra Pound International Conferences taking place worldwide havefeatured poetry readings in what has become by a well-known tradition. InSalamanca, poets of older and younger generations from five continents paidtribute to Pound, with selections from their work now available in this volume.The anthology includes poems by the Spanish Novisimos poets (?The NewestOnes?), considered in Spain Pound's direct poetic heirs, such as AntonioColinas, Jaime Siles, Luis Alberto de Cuenca, and José María Álvarez, but also includedhere are poems by Jorge Guillén from the Generation of '27, as well as SpanishAmerican poets such as Ernesto Cardenal, Gonzalo Rojas Pizarro, Julián Herbert,and Jeannette Lozano Clariond; also represented are poets of a youngergeneration: Jordi Doce, Juan Antonio González-Iglesias, MªÁngeles PérezLópez, and Natalia Carbajosa.At the reading in Salamanca, the Anglophone poets, includingmany devoted Poundians among them, also offered a robust contribution.
