Adoration, by Juan Andrés García Román, is a Spanish poetry collection from Spain, translated by Nicholas Rattner, published by Quantum Prose in 2023. It is a Spanish collection by Juan Andrés García Román whose title opens toward devotion, intensity, and possibly irony. The poems invite attention to the excesses of praise: what we adore, what adoration does to language, and where reverence becomes strange. I would not approach it as a book that needs to be solved or reduced to context before it can begin working. Start with the pressure of the title, the texture of the translated line, and the feeling of a voice making room for itself in English. For this library, the book matters as more than a record of Spain; it is an invitation to let poetry remain particular, difficult, and alive without asking it to behave like explanation.

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.
