State of Exile (City Lights Pocket Poets Series)
Cristina Peri Rossi
Translated from Spanish by Marilyn Buck
State of Exile (City Lights Pocket Poets Series), by Cristina Peri Rossi and translated from Spanish by Marilyn Buck, gives English-language readers Cristina Peri Rossi’s exile-state, a Uruguayan work where displacement becomes geography, politics, erotic consciousness, and ongoing condition. Published by City Lights Books, it should be approached first as a book of encounter rather than as a biographical assignment. The useful question is not what the poems are supposed to mean in a single solved sentence, but what kind of attention they ask the reader to practice. For this library, the entry matters because it keeps Uruguay in the translated poetry conversation as a living source of image, pressure, and voice.
