Reading Eros is More as part of this translated poetry project means letting Juan Antonio González Iglesias’s work reach English through Curtis Bauer without requiring it to become immediately familiar. The book suggests Juan Antonio González Iglesias’s erotic, classical, and contemporary Spanish poetics, treating desire as intelligence rather than ornament. That matters because translation is not only a recovery of content; it is also a change in atmosphere, a new body for cadence, silence, and pressure. Published by Alice James Books, this entry gives readers a way to move through Spain by way of language rather than tourism. I would keep the description rooted in feeling, image, and readerly permission.
