A certain roughness in their syntax, by Jorge Ricardo Aulicino, is a Spanish poetry collection from Argentina, translated by Judith Filc, published by Tupelo Press in 2017. It is an Argentine Spanish-language collection where language, roughness, and historical texture become forms of perception. Aulicino’s title is wonderfully attentive to the grain of speech, where syntax itself carries weather and damage. I would not ask the reader to solve this book before feeling it. The better invitation is to start with the image that will not quite explain itself, then follow the pressure of cadence, silence, and address. For this library, the book matters as more than a representative entry from Argentina. It gives English-language readers another route into how poetry travels: not as a tidy report from elsewhere, but as a living encounter with local weather, historical pressure, and the privacy of a voice.

If you’d like to see international poetry continue and gain traction, consider requesting this work from your local library, or purchasing it from places like Open Books (a poetry only bookstore), Asterism Books (an independent press distributor), or bookshop.org to connect you with your local bookstores.
