Silvina Ocampo

Silvina Ocampo possessed her own special enchantment as a poet and only now is her extraordinary poetic achievement becoming more widely recognized beyond Latin America. <p/>Remarkably this is the first collection of Ocampo's poetry to appear in English. From her early sonnets on the native Argentine landscape to her meditations on love's travails to her explorations of the kinship between plant and animal realms to her clairvoyant inquiries into history and myth and memory readers will find the full range of Ocampo's metaphysical lyricism (<i>The Independent</i>) represented in this groundbreaking edition. <p/>This English-only edition does not include the poems in their original language.
