The book, behind the dune, by Andrés Sánchez Robayna and translated from Spanish by Louis Bourne, gives English-language readers Andrés Sánchez Robayna’s dune-side poetics, a Spanish book of distance, sand, reading, and the book as an object half-buried in weather. Published by Shearsman 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 Spain in the translated poetry conversation as a living source of image, pressure, and voice.
