Tiempo de ángeles, by Homero Aridjis, is a Spanish poetry collection from Mexico, translated by George McWhirter, published by Fondo de Cultura Económica in 2012. It is a Mexican collection by Homero Aridjis whose title brings time, angels, and ecological imagination into the same field. The poems can be approached as visionary rather than merely religious, attentive to the fragile messengers moving through a damaged world. 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.

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.
