About the Book

  • No other poetry by Cortázar is in print
    Cortázar is known as great novelist, but he was also a prolific poet, this volume represents the only poetry survey by Cortázar in print in the English language and the original Spanish.

  • New expanded edition better represents Cortázar's last project
    This was the final project that Cortázar was working on before he passed away in 1984. These poems (in the Spanish, printed in the book along with the English) were chosen by Cortázar himself. This new edition preserves the project as it was meant to be seen by Cortázar with 20 pages restored from his selection.

  • A more complete picture of Cortázar's complex personality
    Cortázar believed that poetry was central to his writing life, and these poems reveal many unseen sides of his complex personality and his love-hate relations with Argentina as well as an intimate glimpse of his personal life and obsession in his adopted home of Paris.
    About the Author: Julio Cortázar was born in Brussels in 1914 to Argentinian parents and raised in Argentina, where as a young man he worked as a secondary-school teacher, university professor, and professional translator. In 1951 he moved to Paris, where he earned his primary living as a translator for UNESCO. He is regarded internationally as a modern master of the short story and his novel Hopscotch is considered a seminal work of the Latin American fiction boom of the 1960s. Cortázar's other books in English include Blow-Up and Other Stories, 62: A Model Kit, The Winners, All Fires the Fire, A Manual for Manuel, Cronopios and Famas, A Change of Light, We Love Glenda So Much, A Certain Lucas, Unreasonable Hours, and Around the Day in Eighty Worlds. He died in Paris in 1984.
