Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. Enojoyed the bilingual aspect of this edition. As a language student, I enjoy the challenge of experiencing poetry in the original and translation. The writer compelled my interest with their complex style. ( )Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. I received this book in exchange for a review and thought I knew what I was getting into--I like quite a bit of poetry, including some translated works. Having read Miami Century Fox, I think my preferred poetry probably runs more...pedestrian and simple than MCF. MCF is beautifully written and there is a beautiful flow and cadence to the poems...but I just don't get them. The imagery didn't make much sense to me. If you aren't a Philistine like I apparently am, this is a beautiful, short book of poetry that I recommend. Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. I received this as part of librarything's early review program. I either read the description wrong, or, more likely, messed up and clicked next to the wrong book, and I am utterly unqualified to write a review of poetry. I did read the book; even if I inadvertently signed up to review it, I DID sign up to review it, but... It is just the kind of poetry I least understand. There's stories here which I suspect are really interesting stories. I wish they were short stories instead of poetry. But that's ME, and has nothing to do with the poet, who I suspect is quite good. Good enough, in fact, to break through my lack of interest in poetry and make me interested in the stories. So. Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. An accessible and original poetry collection with sabor. Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. I keep reading Miami Century Fox because each time I get more out of it. The epigraphs and poems are fun and witty, lyrical and layered. They tell a modern story in a very old form, and they give me the opportunity to imagine in a most satisfying way. I love this book! geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"Iglesias experiments with form while showcasing the philosophical and metaphorical possibilities of poetry in this winner of the 2016 National Poetry Series Paz Prize for Poetry. Faultlessly translated by Aparicio, the individual pieces in this book-length sequence of Petrarchan sonnets are each foregrounded by brief meditations, which often read as a commentary on the work's own movement through literary tradition...The experiment in form is a philosophical argument that poetry can contribute to what have traditionally been envisioned as purely scholarly conversations. Iglesias offers a vision of the subject as divided while showcasing the beauty inherent in this fracturing; the fragment is revealed as 'the key that will open the doors.'" --Publishers Weekly "Miami Century Fox is Legna Rodríguez Iglesias's English debut, but by no means is she an emerging poet. Here's a voice that's seasoned and fierce, tender and sharp as a blade. I promise, dear readers, that you will not encounter another book quite like this, nor another poet quite like Legna Rodríguez Iglesias, ever again." --Achy Obejas, from the introduction "This smart, delightful, and seductive dual-language (Spanish and English) collection by the 2017 winner of the Paz Prize for Poetry is a loving and sly portrait of Miami and the immigrant experience in the 21st century." --Publishers Weekly; included in Fall 2017 Adult Announcements, Poetry A bilingual--English and Spanish--collection by the 2017 winner of the Paz Prize for Poetry,Miami Century Fox is a delightful, seductive read. Sonnets? Rhyme and meter? Yes, along with a delicious serving of irony and wit. This is one very smart collection of poems--a loving and sly portrait of Miami and the immigrant experience in the twenty-first century. Translated by Eduardo Aparicio. The Paz Prize for Poetry is presented by The National Poetry Series and The Center for Writing and Literature at Miami Dade College and is awarded biennially. Named in the spirit of the late Novel Prize--winning poet Octavio Paz, it honors a previously unpublished book of poetry written originally in Spanish by an American resident.
