Sergio Raimondi's work engages in the most complex issues of his time, including globalisation, colonialism, industrialisation and environmental degradation. Yet all his concerns are rigorously analysed through the medium of the poet's art, steeped in literary tradition and craft. He is widely considered Argentina's most important and influential contemporary poet, with an international reputation. Many of Raimondi's poems address what might seem unlikely subjects for poetry: industrial practices, global trade, or labour legislation. Yet among the allusions, the immense research, the unsparing gaze, and the expert skill of the language there's also room for desert-dry humour, touches of self-deprecation and immense empathy for individuals caught up in seemingly implacable historical processes. This volume includes a generous selection of his poems from Poes???a civil (Civil Poetry) and Lexik???n (Lexikon) in bilingual Spanish-English facing-pages format. A substantial introduction by the translators places Raimondi's work in its literary and wider cultural context, and reflects on the challenges faced when bringing his unique poetry into English.
