Reborn in Ink, by Laura Cesarco Eglin, is a Spanish poetry collection from Uruguay, translated by Catherine Jagoe, Jesse Lee Kercheval, published by The Word Works in 2019. It is a Uruguayan collection where textual memory, family history, and the act of writing become a form of return. Cesarco Eglin’s poems suggest that ink is not simply preservation; it is a second birth, a way for language to handle inheritance without pretending it is simple. 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.

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.
