Of such a nature, by José Kozer, is a Spanish poetry collection from Cuba, translated by Peter Boyle, published by University Alabama Press in 2018. It is a Cuban collection by José Kozer, one of the great restless figures of late modern Spanish-language poetry. The pleasure of Kozer is that nature never remains merely natural; it becomes baroque inventory, bodily pressure, diasporic memory, and thinking in motion. I would not approach it as a book that needs to be solved before it can begin working. Start with the title, the pressure of the translated line, and the feeling of a voice making room for itself in English. The value here is not just metadata or representation. It is the chance to let a particular book create its own weather, its own difficulty, and its own way of asking the reader to listen.
