Fire Wind
Yvan Yauri
Translated from Spanish by Marta del Pozo
Yvan Yauri’s Fire Wind, translated by Marta del Pozo, belongs on the shelf as more than a data point from Peru. It carries Yvan Yauri’s Peruvian lyric heat, a book that sounds as though wind and flame have been asked to speak before explanation arrives. The best entries in a translated poetry library do not merely point to a country, language, or press; they give a reader a reason to linger with the strangeness of another voice. This is the kind of book I would describe through atmosphere first and certainty second. Let the work be partial, difficult, plainspoken, excessive, or mysterious on its own terms before turning it into a lesson.
