Natural Selection

Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. Translated from the Spanish by Miguel Gonzalez-Gerth. Does language have the power to express our perceptions, our emotions, our beliefs--our selves? Enrique Fierro addresses these seminal questions in the poems collected in NATURAL SELECTION. Using subtle wit Fierro constructs poetry that opens a world through infinite associations and connotations. Intense moments of heightened perception and fleeting instants of inner consciousness strive to regain the harmony of creation and the ancient interdependence of music and poetry lost in modernism. Presented here in a bilingual edition, NATURAL SELECTION is the first collection of this amazing poet's work available in English.
