Resistencia: Poems of Protest and Revolution door Red Poppy
Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss.
Resistencia offers a varied and engaging collection of contemporary poetry originally written in Spanish and other languages of the Americas. The poems are presented side-by-side in English and the original languages, which makes it easy to compare the different versions and to contemplate the choices made by translators.
The editors approach the topic of resistance broadly to include not just anti-imperialist poems, but also poems dealing with economic inequality, gender identity, the state of the planet, and more. This understanding of the complexity of resistance and the multiple topics it needs to address—which are also emphasized in the introduction by Julia Álvarez—makes this a powerful collection, nudging readers to expand their own understanding of resistance.
If you want to see the different ways the communities in the Americas are defining themselves and struggling toward a more inclusive, just world, this title is a great place to start.

3 stars for the publication, not the poet. I love Bloodaxe, but what is going on with that font.
The facing page translations are appreciated, and the translations themselves are mostly good (though not, in my view, worthy of the 5 stars being thrown around here).
