Valverde is a leading figure in a movement of contemporary poets known as the Poetry of Uncertainty, and he has received some of the most significant awards for poetry in Spanish. This bilingual edition of his book \u003ci\u003eThe Insistence of Harm\u003c\/i\u003e introduces English-language readers to some of his latest, most exciting work. \u003ci\u003eThe Insistence of Harm\u003c\/i\u003e is a series of poignant lyric poems that takes readers from India to the Balkans to Spain and to Latin America, exploring the nature of \"harm\" in its various guises-war, disease, heartbreak, suicide. The poems grapple with both the reality of loss and the distance that language imposes on it. The English translations by Allen Josephs and Laura Juliet Wood effectively capture both tone and content while attending to subtle nuances of the original Spanish, bringing a new and important voice to students of Spanish and poetry readers alike.
