Confetti-Ash is an anthology of Spanish poetry, translated by David Shook, Paul B. Roth, Anthony Seidman, published by The Bitter Oleander Press in 2015. It is an anthology of Mexican poetry whose title holds festivity and aftermath in one breath. As an anthology, it stages Mexican lyric not as a single national mood, but as a scatter of celebration, residue, color, and burn. I would not approach it as a book that needs to be solved before it can begin working. Start with the title, the pressure of the translated line, and the feeling of a voice making room for itself in English. The value here is not just metadata or representation. It is the chance to let a particular book create its own weather, its own difficulty, and its own way of asking the reader to listen.

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.
