Celebrated throughout the Spanish-speaking world, she is almost unknown among anglophones. Until now only a handful of her poems have been translated into English, giving at best a diluted impression of a uniquely intense imagination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This bilingual edition reveals the power and beauty of this poet's Spanish poems through English versions of corresponding force. It invites readers to enter Terán's world--a world at once strongly Venezuelan and universally human, imbued with great beauty, sardonic humor, pitiless compassion, lucid wisdom, and joyful affirmation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Selected from several volumes of Terán's work, these poems span half a century of composition and show an extraordinary range in both form and substance. Some are written in closed forms, some in free verse. Some are carefully evocative representations of the landscapes and cityscapes that have nourished the poet's intelligence and imagination. Others are dramatic character studies. All are infused with Terán's rare sensibility and realized through language that manages to be at once graceful, urgent, and explosive. This volume is a treasure for all lovers of poetry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eDeal Struck with Happiness\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e How much sweetness to make right the night\u003cbr\u003e and this clutch of anemones\u003cbr\u003e near thin smooth consoling stones,\u003cbr\u003e stones havens of southern weather.\u003cbr\u003e Of a woman who watches Cepheids quaver\u003cbr\u003e among lightbursting mangroves.\u003cbr\u003e Of a woman who offers cats-eyes and clematis\u003cbr\u003e only, Islands, for the sake of setting right\u003cbr\u003e her deal struck with happiness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52649352233327,"sku":"9780691096728","price":194.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/0691096724.jpg?v=1770649966","url":"https:\/\/internacional.umlivro.com.br\/products\/the-poetess-counts-to-100-and-bows-out","provider":"UmLivro Internacional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
