Canasta is an anthology of Spanish poetry, translated by Toshiya Kamei, published by Independently Published in 2019. It is an anthology of Spanish-language work that should be read as a small gathered basket rather than a single-author collection. As an anthology, its value lies in selection and encounter, offering readers a compact arrangement of voices that may otherwise remain scattered. 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 Various; 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.
