Lost cities go to paradise, by Alicia Borinsky, is a Spanish poetry collection from Argentina, translated by Regina Galasso with the poet, published by Swan Isle Press in 2015. It is an Argentine collection drawn toward disappearance, urban memory, and the afterlife of places. Borinsky’s title feels almost fable-like, but the poems ask what happens when cities, selves, and histories keep slipping out of official maps. 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 Argentina; 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.
