Like an eye in the hand of a beggar, by Leopoldo María Panero, is a Spanish poetry collection from Spain, translated by Arturo Mantecón, published by Editions Michel Eyquem in 2013. It is a Spanish collection by Leopoldo María Panero, a poet of derangement, excess, and brutal inward weather. The title is pure Panero: startling, abject, visionary, and almost impossible to tidy into ordinary sense. I would not approach it as a book that needs to be solved or reduced to context before it can begin working. 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 Spain; 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.
