Dreams of waking is an anthology of Iberian poetry, translated by Cici Malik, Mark L. Bajus, Vincent Barletta, published by The University of Chicago Press in 2013. It is an anthology of Iberian lyric and thought that treats dream, waking, and literary inheritance as overlapping states. As an anthology, it is useful for the way it lets readers move across voices without demanding that Iberian poetry resolve into one period, nation, or style. I would not approach it as a book that needs to be solved before it can be felt. 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 Iberia; 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.
