The republic of poetry

The heart of this collection is a cycle of Chile poems by the poet Sandra Cisneros called "the Pablo Neruda of North American authors." In his eighth collection of poems, Espada celebrates the power of poetry itself. This book is a place of odes and elegies, collective memory and hidden history, miraculous happenings and redemptive justice. Here poets return from the dead, visit in dreams, even rent a helicopter to drop poems on bookmarks.--From publisher description
