Belleza y Felicidad is a Spanish multi-author or collaborative poetry volume from Argentina, associated with Cecilia Pavon, Fernanda Laguna, translated by Stuart Krimko, and published by Sand Paper Press in 2015. It is an Argentine Spanish-language collaborative or two-author volume rooted in art, friendship, beauty, and playful cultural invention. The title’s happiness is not naïve; it sounds like an aesthetic project, a way of making joy strange enough to trust. 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.
