I Remember Nightfall
Marosa Di Giorgio
Translated from Spanish by Jeannine Marie Pitas
I Remember Nightfall, by Marosa Di Giorgio, is a Spanish poetry collection from Uruguay, translated by Jeannine Marie Pitas, published by Ugly Duckling Presse in 2017. It is a Uruguayan collection by Marosa Di Giorgio, whose nocturnal imagination moves through childhood, garden, erotic charge, and dream. The poems feel as if fairy tale and bodily memory have been made porous to each other, so nightfall becomes both scene and spell. 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 Uruguay; it is an invitation to let poetry remain particular, difficult, and alive without asking it to behave like explanation.
