The New World Written by
María Baranda
Translated from Spanish by Paul Hoover
The New World Written by, by María Baranda, is a Spanish poetry collection from Mexico, translated by Paul Hoover, published by Yale University Press. It is a Mexican selected volume by María Baranda that carries her dreamlike, historical, and elemental imagination into English. Baranda's poems often move as though the world were being made and unmade in the same breath. 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.
